Welcome to Life, Kiddo!

He dug deeper
and deeper and deeper.
'They' could see him digging,
They smirked and waited,
not very far from him.
They were going to destroy
everything he was doing

He dug deeper and deeper,
They could hear him squealing,
They knew he was happy
but they didn't care.

He dug deeper and deeper,
He ignored his mom's call.
He wanted to do it,
just the he wanted to

The distance between him and them decreased.
He dug and they came
They came and he dug
"Finally!" he yelled
That's when they arrived.

The waves filled up the kid's efforts
They filled the pit with more sand and water
He looked defeated and sad
His mom urged him to try another location with a sad smile.

Reluctantly, he went again;
a little farther this time,
and started digging again.

All I did from a little farther away
was muster a silent laugh
"Welcome to life, kiddo!" I muttered.
