The irony of mens life journey

The irony of men’s life journey.

Man sees first light through the gap between his mother’s legs.
He spend most of his life trying to slip back into a gap. 

The baby comes into this world wearing a hoody.
A doctor decides that the hoody must go, snip, snip.

The baby, the boy, the man, the old man’s head exposed
to the elements, except when entering the holy of  holy’s.

Over eighty years have passed, time and fate has altered.
Gravity and age has shortened the height of ones stature
and added inches, feet and pounds to man’s girth.
Old age, has shrunk the length of the head of the family.

Old age, and all that that implies, leaves a negative impact.
As man looks down at the head of the family, the family jewels.
All he observes is sagging sacks and the hoody he lost as a baby.
