Growth

Born is when it all begins ....... life,
Male or female a child of the times,
Natured hopefully by parents,
Loved through childhood ..... hopefully 
Trying to be the best, you could be anything do anything, 
Taking control of your life,
Quiet or full of life,
Large or small,
Happy or sad,
Its all part of life.

Older and wider,
Mistakes made,
Help needed and given,
Tales that could be told,
Secrets kept and secrets shared,
No two lives are the same,
Many twists and turns,

Maybe there will be marriage and  babies,
For others a career,
It's all hard work witch ever one,
One will pay well in money,
The other pay in love,
Which will be chosen?,

Old with wrinkles now,
Worry lines and laughter lines,
Not sure how much spring is left,
The bodies slowing down,
The mind is still sharp,
At the end is death,
A new beginning.
