The Beginning of the End

When you are born, It's like the beggining of the end Or the end of the beginning You start in life so new and free You are welcomed and loved You are cared for and taught Sometimes you have to teach yourself Sometimes life's spanking spoon is there to Straighten you Sometimes you are left bended But you still have to go up the staircase Or at least try too You meet friends and lovers along the way You win trophies and lose battles You share and receive You dare and believe Sometimes you look down your life And you wonder how you got there Sometimes you look up And continue wishing and dreaming Up and down the stairway of life The further you go, The closer to the end you get.
