Your Life Through Stages
Your life through stages
By Michelle Morris

In the morning of your life,
You'll feel like you have
All the time in the world;
You'll be enthusiastic and
Fearless, and without any
Limits unfurled...
Simultaneously, you'll be
Surrounded by people who
Want to mould you,
Shape you into boxes
That fit their world view...
Don't allow anyone to break
Your stride, limit you or
Harm your pride;
You need to take pause and
Focus on the type of person
You want to be -
Hopefully good and kind and
Generous will be your legacy...
In the noontide of your life,
You'll be looking back at how
Far you've come
And looking forward to see
If there's still time for
Dreams to run...
Don't be thwarted by the
Limitations of time or age -
You're never to old to learn anew
Or with life to re-engage...
No matter your circumstances,
You can always start again;
It just takes dedication and
Willpower that never ends...
Don't be put off by
Whatever challenges you face;
The race is not yet done
And the demons you've got to face
Won't be the best of you...
If you focus on
Always choosing good,
Because good always wins
And allows a conscience
Clear of sin...
In the evening of your life,
You'll be looking back upon
Your path, and hopefully wonder
If you changed many hearts...
To improve the planet
And life thereon
Would be the best of lives lived
And worthy of a song...
