mother to son

and shrapnel,
And torn boards
And places without carpet!
Not.

I have ascended
And reach 'landin',
And turn corners
And sometimes out and about in the dark
where there is no light
So, boy, don't back down.
Don't go down the steps.
Because you think it's harder.
Don't fall now!
'Cause I'm still walking baby
I'm still climbing
And life for me is not a crystal staircase.
