Cut down during the growth spurt, life happens. Oh, the Places You'll Go! says Dr. Seuss. They'll still visit, laugh, live and love in the future. Meanwhile they'll need to recuperate and bide their time.
The world is vast and you're only in a small part of it. Bloom my friend I know you'll look spectacular and more importantly feel it too.
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
