Child’s Viewpoint
Lay there hardly move
No where to go
Learn to crawl
Make it somehow
Learn to walk
Get where need to be
Learn to run
Be first place
Teenager Viewpoint
Lay there until have to move
Go anywhere to do
No crawling
Would look weak
Walk like nothings wrong
Be strong
Run to play the sport
Even if lose; hope to win
Young adult Viewpoint
Keep moving even if depressed
Losing hope of where to go
Breakdown will still crawl
Can’t give in
Walk around wandering
Where do I need to be
Running from reality
On empty until stall out
Breaking point
Can’t just lay there
Just need to end it all
Crawling has faded away
Not a choice
Walk away from what is left
Stranded
Run from the tormenting thoughts
Until stopped -suicidal, suicide attempt, make it out somehow, mental illness diagnosed, negative thoughts fights now with faith, hope, and love; relapses then go to HIM who understands and delivers from again and again and again
Older Adult Viewpoint w/ the LORD
Find meaning now in day to day movement
Know where want to go
Help those along who crawl
Pray for a future and a hope
Walk on in faith not sight
Know who I’m meant to be
Run the race set in front of me
Await new strength to keep going
