Lesson from the Elephant

by Cheryl Merrick

Firmly tied to a stake,
the baby elephant
struggles to free himself.
After days of effort, 
the exhausted baby,
surrenders to the belief 
that it can never 
free itself.

Finally grown,
though the adult elephant
now possesses 
immense strength,
it still allows itself 
to be bound by,
its now non-applicable,
childhood memories
