Transition

TRANSITION 

Life is a stage
You crawl today, you walk tomorrow 
You develop the wings to fly,
Until you go to the great gulf course in the sky

Life is a stage 
You mumble today, you speak tomorrow
Then you have the voice to address the universe, 
Until you are invited to the world of silence 

Life is a stage
You are a boy today, a man tomorrow
Then you get the balls to play the game of pool,
Until you violate the 8-ball rule 

Life is a stage 
You are a neophyte today, a maven tomorrow
Then you get skill to impart humanity,
Until you terminate the earth  treaty.
