When we watch others grow and expand
We can’t use that as a time to reprimand
But to recognize it as the beginning of growth
Give them credit for stepping out of the boat
Or realize that energy might not be new
Maybe they never felt comfortable to share that side with you
So we shouldn’t challenge or put them down
But allow them to revel in what they have found
Or when they begin to speak in a positive way
Not to speak negative about what they have to say
But maybe we should allow it to challenge our thought
Instead of trying to see if they could slip up and get caught
Maybe not look so much for the things that are wrong
But possibly change the track to a new song
Maybe if we allow the growth of others to infect us
We’ll expand just a little more and have something else to discuss
