Age As It Comes

Childhood days are golden,
With dreams in our eyes
About life being so radiant,
Beautiful, vibrant and nice 

Adolescence ushers in,
Heaps of fancy dreams, 
Our aspirations are sky high,
With a galore of fantasies 

And as adulthood dawns,
The reality gets unveiled 
Oh how harsh life can be
Only then one get to realise 

Old age is so daunting that
I dread going through,
But it's about welcoming our age gracefully 
That brings in happiness bountiful and true
