The edge of the unknown
Is a mythical milestone.
A toddler standing for the first time
Is at the edge of the unknown
Till he takes the first step.
A woman who is pregnant
Is at the edge of the unknown
Till she holds her child in her hands.
A girl getting married
Is at the edge of the unknown
Till she becomes a part of her new family.
A child going to school
Is at the edge of the unknown
Till he reads the first letter in his book.
Every hour, every minute, every second
Leads us to the edge of the unknown.
But it’s the decision to take that first step
That enlightens the mind with knowledge.
And the edge of the unknown
Disappears with the expanding horizon.
