Be Careful Not To Break Your Legs 1

Perhaps you won't remember much
When you were really really small
And hadn't very far to fall
The world was such an easy touch.
Complexity reveals itself
Alongside momentary joys:
You'll leave behind your easy toys
For romance, industry and wealth.
In later years there's no surprise:
You'll learn from every time she cries,
Particularly if she begs,
That happiness is not a wife.
When dancing through your future life
Be careful not to break your legs.
