Stages of Life

As a child i wanted to be an adult

As an adult i wanted to be young 

As an old woman i wanted to go back to my mothers womb

So that i could start life all over again and appreciate each stage as it comes and goes

So very true! Your last verse mirrors what usually passes through my mind; I wish that I could go backwards in time, in slow motion, because we don't realize what we're missing. Life is such a rush! // paul

Thank you ! Life is a very interesting thing , never enjoying the present but constantly reminiscing the past.
