Life
In life's grand play, we take the stage,
A comedy, a drama, an endless age.
From first breath's cry to the final bow,
A journey through moments, both high and low.
We stumble through childhood, so carefree,
With scraped-up knees and giggles of glee.
Running through fields, with no cares in sight,
Chasing the day into the velvety night.
Then adolescence comes with its awkward dance,
A whirlwind of changes, a fleeting chance.
Awkward crushes, and schoolyard fights,
Navigating love's labyrinth with sleepless nights.
As adults, we find our purpose and toil,
Chasing dreams, wrapped in life's grand coil.
Juggling work and family with care,
Seeking success, but finding moments rare.
Love's sweet embrace, a kiss in the rain,
We search for a partner, to share the pain.
Through trials and triumphs, we find our way,
Hand in hand, we face each new day.
With age, we learn the value of time,
How it slips away, like a subtle rhyme.
We cherish old stories and friends from the past,
Hoping our memories will forever last.
The world spins on, a relentless wheel,
Each day a new chance for joy or ordeal.
We laugh, we cry, we rise, we fall,
In this grand circus, we've seen it all.
Life's a riddle, a puzzle, a mystery,
Full of moments of sheer absurdity.
But in the laughter and shared tears,
We find meaning in these fleeting years.
So, let's dance through life's delightful masquerade,
Embrace the sunshine and the cooling shade.
In this intricate tale, where we all play a part,
Let's find the humor, the joy, the heart.
