To the Top of the Ladder

I was a scared little mouse

Hiding in the little hole.

Sometimes I would peak

And step out a bit.

But the Big cat would scare me

So I ran right back in

My lonely but safe home.

One day the cat got in

My little hole.

I still don’t know how, But boy!

Did I ever ran out!

You took me in your hands

To a strange place.

You showed me the ladder

To enter the big World

Oh! Did it seem so high

For a little mouse like me

But you promised to hold

My hand

I first hesitated

And didn’t cooperate.

But you never left me

I slowly climbed up.

Sometimes I’d trip

But I got right back up

So now I’m less scared

And almost at the top.

I could climb to the clouds,

I might trip and fall down

But I’d get right back up

Thanks to your hand.

Soon I’ll let go of your hand

And meet my fellows

In the big and noisy place

Called Society.

I’ll be with my fellows,

But I’ll never forget you.

Someday I’ll be the one to hold

Their hands

To lead them the way to the

Big place called Society

It’s been a long but worthy time

I’m almost to the last step.

You’re slowly letting go of my hand…

Oh! It’s getting scary!

But I will make you proud

Because I’ll make the Society

A safe and warm place.

Thanks to your caring

And warm hand.

I’ll be the One

To change the world
