SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS LIKE A BABY TOOTH

in poetry •  5 years ago  (edited)

ITS LIKE PULLING A BABY TOOTH AS A KID.

You're scared for it to fall out,
scared of the pain that might come.
When it happens, though,
you realize there was nothing that you needed to fear.

Now, a bigger tooth can grow in,
a strong healthy adult one.
Strong enough to bite through apples
and eat so much more delicious food.

You get excited
You really dont care about the old tooth anymore;
the old tooth is shedded from you like a snake.
You have this great new tooth being created in you.

"Woaoooh!"

"That didnt really hurt!"

With nothing lost, you shrug it off with a 'Sigh Of Relief'

You laugh and you smile and you show mommy and say,

"Look! Look at me now!"

Can you guess how mommy responds?
