From birth we enter this world with a cry,
Our parents' joy, the apple of their eye.
We grow and learn, our minds alive
Exploring the world, full of wonder and pride.
As children, we play and laugh and dream,
The world is a magical and wondrous stream.
We run and jump and climb and explore,
Our imaginations free to soar.
But as we grow, we face the trials of youth,
The struggle for identity and search for truth.
We face rejection, heartbreak, and pain,
As we learn that life is not always a game.
Then comes adulthood, with its own demands,
We must work hard to make our own stands.
We strive for success, money, and fame,
Thinking that's how we'll find life's game.
We build our careers and chase our dreams,
But happiness is not as easy as it seems.
We struggle with stress, anxiety, and fear,
And often find ourselves lost in a tear.
And then comes old age, with its own set of woes,
The body weakens, the mind slows.
We look back on a life, full of ups and downs,
Wishing we could change things, turn things around.
And in the end, we face the inevitable truth,
That life is fleeting, a mere passing youth.
We leave behind the ones we love,
And enter the great unknown above.
