Comfort Zone

Comfort Zone

Coming on in leaps and bounds
surveying all that he surrounds
banging on his playpen
nearly knocking it over again
think he’s gone to big for that thing
maybe a hang from the door swing
I got him a walker
he just sits still 
becomes a talker
it seems that once he’s given the freedom
no longer wants it, more secure in his kingdom
maybe its out of his comfort zone?
makes him feel lost and alone

Is this the same for all of us
banging the walls, making a fuss
if our every wish was granted
would we suddenly feel stranded?
if we live without hope
pretty soon we run out of scope
we need something to rebel against
otherwise our thoughts are filled with angst

Susan,

The many leaps and bounds of growing up, not only for our young but for we the adults as well. That comfort zone will soon be gone and the new, just as life, will we be left by it, staring us right in the face....We've got to learn to sometimes give a lot, in order to gain a little and you have did as such in this true to life poem..But in this case you gave a lot in this poem as it pertains to advice in life and i am sure will receive a whole lot of responses...Delivery simply marvelous and clearly understood.....
