Aging
life begins at birth
first breath of new beginning
years of growth to come
toddler age has crowned
walking, talking, falling down
a stage of newness
teen years spring up fast
you think you know everything
wait till adulthood
yay! you're an adult
dating, working, marrying
children on the way
work your life away
next thing you know-you're old
grey streaks in hair
body tends to fail
little things don't matter so
just riding out life
grand kids forget you
your own kids don't come around
life becomes lonely
daily tasks are hard
legs give out more then they should
memory is gone
