Tae Kwon Do
I watched my grandson Aden at his Tae Kwon Do class today
I was filled with many emotions...which I will gladly now convey.
Tae Kwon Do is a martial art...the oldest of its kind.
Literally it means the way of the foot...the hand...and the mind.
It teaches combat and self-defense through sport and exercise
Taught by a grandmaster who is strict yet kind and wise.
Aden earned his green belt and we were all completely floored
When he bowed then in an instant, with his foot he broke a board!
He is learning respect and patience, traits that will help him to succeed.
As he develops strength, flexibility, stamina and speed.
It is inspiring watching Aden and the rest of his class perform
In an atmosphere that is accepting, challenging and warm.
It was easy to see how happy and proud our Aden felt
It was written on his smile as he slipped on that green belt.
And we’ll be in attendance to help see Aden through
When he attempt to earn his next belt...I believe that one is blue.
For though we know confidence and respect are Tae Kwon Do’s reward
It sure is kind of special when Aden breaks that board.
