Crawl To Walk

Crawl to Walk You can give a man water but you can’t make him drink, You can give a man knowledge but you can’t make him think. You can offer him advice but he may not obey, You can guide him to light but in dark he might stay. You can give a man shelter but you can’t calm his storm, You can light him a fire but you can’t keep him warm. You can grant a man vision but you can’t make him see, You can release him from chains but you can’t set him free. You can give a man all he could possibly need, but he can’t plant a tree if he can’t sow a seed.
