Learn To Stumble
Learn to stumble,
Learn to fall,
Only then will you grow tall
Learn to try
Learn to fail
Only then will your life sail
Like a ship upon the sea
That found the secret to be free
Don’t dodge from waves or flee from storms
Don’t stay were its safe and warm
But journey like a bold strong ship
That goes through life well equipped
To ride the waves and seek new shores
And go where no ones gone before
And if your ship should hit a rock and break apart
And have to stop
then take the time to make repairs
rest for a while but don’t stay there
and amid the shattered decks and sails
don’t worry that so far you failed
just fix and patch and build once more
continue to your distant shore
and if you lose your way this time
seek once more until you find
your dream comes true at journeys end
then rest awhile and dream again
the ship that makes it in the night
is the ship that sees its own strong light
in spite of all the dangerous rocks
and the chance of getting lost
the ship that’s not afraid to sail
is the only ship that’s free to sail.
