Three Stages

There are three stages in life 
One full of energy,excitement and adventure 
Two in which we rely on others care

In the beginning we are precious
So new to the earth 
And by the time we get old 
We are ready for our rebirth

Gentle child so eager to learn
So much wisdom there is to earn

Young adult to adult
How many mistakes that we make
But if we learn from them its best for all our sake

Though growing old is a process 
Its an accomplishment to reach retirement years
Experiencing many changes, challenges and tears
Taking on all new fears
Hopefully reaping the benefits that we sow
And then passing on the knowledge of the world that we know-
All from our three stages
