They’re tuning in to the potency of age.
Realizing their life’s epic battle wage.
They’re born to the youngest & herded along.
They’re learning, from elders, paths right & paths wrong.
They’re timid & frightened of every new step…
Not at all eager to learn study & prep.
Still, both care & patience are given for free.
Inexhaustible patient support seems key.
By the time it’s not needed, they will be grown.
Then they’ll spawn some little terrors of their own.
