Dish of Life

Infancy...
The beginning of dependency
Baby cries and shoyts for food
Parents strive hard to provide good

Childhood..
The years of run and play
Anywhere, a child roams to stay
In playgrounds, pool or mudclay

Adolescence...
The spurt of stance, attitude and growth..
Physically and emotionally not to be drought..

Adulthood...
The critical age of maturity
Gradually living a life of purity & graduity
Once the dish of life in vitality

Where will it end?
Who can one depend? 
When will it unfold to mend?
On the edge; on the bend...

Birth is when life begins
Death, a truth to imagine
Like a vehicle's full in engine
Go on; hurdle: Don't ever flinch

Indeed, living is the 'Dish of Life' and many a plate it's been dished out on, James :)
