Get up again

Wrote this 5/19/09

The little toddler just learning to walk stumbles and falls,
His mother says, “get up and walk again,” as he tries to crawl.
He just sits there and pouts as he got hurt from falling,
He is afraid to try again….but she keeps on calling….

“Get up again..let’s try this another time.
Don’t be afraid of getting hurt…
Get up again...brush yourself off son,
Cause I know that you can do it…
Just get up again.”

The little boy..a few years older, is learning to ride a bike and falls,
His mother says, “get up and walk again,” as he tries to crawl.
He just sits there and pouts as he got hurt from falling,
He is afraid to try again…but she keeps on calling…

“Get up again..let’s try this another time.
Don’t be afraid of getting hurt…
Get up again...brush yourself off son,
Cause I know that you can do it…
Just get up again.”

The same little boy, all grown up and living for Christ..falls,
His mother says, “get up and walk again”, as he tries to crawl.
He just sits there and shouts “I got hurt from falling.”
He is afraid to try again…but she keeps on calling…

“Get up again..let’s try this another time.
Don’t be afraid of getting hurt…
Get up again...brush yourself off son,
Cause I know that you can do it…
Just get up again.”
