PERSONA

At age of five, baby turns to a child
Leaving Mother’s lap enters outer world
Curiosity begins, strong or mild.
Fear and Sweet Home are the important words

Inquisitiveness to increase daily
Schooling and study get priority
 Adolescence becomes crucial mainly.
At fifteen searching for identity.

Through budding teen ages bubbling youth comes
Sex consciousness appears as fulcrum.
Most vibrant dynamic youth to welcome
Career, Love and Family : Broad Spectrum.

At fifty Perfect Persona is gained.
Lad or Lady fulfills own ambition 
Proud Parents : Grown Up Children entertain.
 Success reflects through Next Generation.

Last Phase of Life starts at age Seventy.
Last but not the Least, you are to proceed
through hard work establishing entity
Live in full, Life is a Challenge indeed.

I enjoyed stepping through these life steps. It seems as if a person becomes more and more complete as life goes on.
