Room for the Shy One

One goat hung back at the edge like a full stop afraid to become a sentence.

Spike did not drag. He left a lane. Suzy kept soft eye and quiet feet.

Room is an invitation. Force is a shove wearing a smile.

Adventure Cap wanted a quick fix. Care said wait is help too.

Thinking Cap habit: leave space, stay kind, do not take over. Cap does not invent bravery.

When the lane stayed open, the shy goat stepped through on her own time.

They thanked her with stillness, not a cheer that made ears dip.

Little Thunder modelled mahogany patience at the rail.

Kids: if a friend hangs back, leave space and wait — do not pull them in.

Care invites. Lead protects the soft try.

Tools remind. Courage still walks itself.

Room left. Soft step. Kind end.

Leave a lane. Wait soft.
