Being a fearless 6 year old, once again (poem)

When I was encouraging my 6 year old to climb across the fence,
I told him, "Do it now, for you will not be able to do it later in life."
Just, then it struck me, "Why did fear take over me as I grew older?"
Then, on our way back, with lots of nervousness and courage, I crossed it.
