APED given words:
flurry hidden childhood day deep,
hid baby embrace forever once

3WW given words:
reflect tedious waste

The flurry of activities hidden in memory
Of childhood antics and of day's happenings
Even though deep within hid the pranks' infamy
But it was where life's lessons had their beginnings

To reflect back was not a tedious homecoming
Neither a waste of  precious energy expended
But rather baby steps had their true mutterings
To embrace forever skills that mattered

Once given exposure to challenge the umbrage
Acceptance was crucial to meet all expectations
Discipline was no match to offend the tutelage
To face the uncharted world in adulthood fashion

For Vinay's APED Midweek Prompt #59 Wordle #9
Thomg's 3WW week #438 and
Susan's PU's Midweek Motif with - acceptance

  9. true perhaps that we have to look back and accept what was - and if we are brave enough learn and move forward - which i am sure you are!

  15. Kaykuala,

    Absolute participation in a sport or activity, requires a total focus. It can be draining at times, but the acceptance of the effort required, sits alongside the discipline...

  16. The transition from being a kid into adulthood is not an easy one. Try as we might to prepare them. But there are things that teach them discipline which is a huge skill needed.
