Stages of Life

Confused in state of mind

As bright light perches at his eyes;

Entering the race of his life

With simple and smirky smiles.

Babbling incomprehensible words

Adoring everyone at sight,

Crawling across inch by inch

Screeching his tiny toes.

Waltzing around the shady rooms

Wobbling and tripping his way,

Cupping his hands to fly in thoughts 

As creativity and imagination take him away.

Slowly approaching the views

Of the diverse world outside,

Attaining knowledge day by day

To explore the world and fly.

Ready to flap his little wings 

His eyes gaze with courage and strength;

He falls and rises in his several trials

Never stopping to win the race.

Looking to the way of his endless journey

With wise and willful thoughts,

The time flies by his whitened hands 

As his dependence leaves the world.

As dusk falls on his uttered race

His childhood is brought back to red eyes,

He has set the past, present and future

As his wisdom never dies.
