Stages Of Life

Stages Of Life

When I was born I felt so cold,

Until I was given to my mother to hold.

I cried and cried and drove her crazy,

Yet she tried hard to make me feel cosy.

As and when I kept her up at nights,

She wouldn't complain, just hug me tight.


Slowly I grew up and went to school,

Got an attitude and thought I was cool.

My friends became dear to me,

More than my own dear family.

I felt I was better than my parents,

All that mattered was only their gifts and presents.


When I began to work I got wings,

Living in a world of materialistic things.

When things got tough and workload heavy,

Realized that work wasn't always hunky dory.

Only when I married and raised a child,

Did I understand how they got wild.


By the time I stopped working and retired,

I was almost half dead and tired.

My wife was the only one beside me,

Without any wants, expectations or greed.

As the clock ticked I realised,

I won't be carrying anything that I had.


The stages of my life have taught me,

Nothing is final except my destiny.

No matter how hard I always try,

Life would get tough and make me cry.

Yet if I got up and fought my way,

The result would always make my day.


No one is going to be here forever,

Show some mercy, but hurt never.

Treat everyone with love and care,

Some need just that in times of despair.

Life goes on and waits for none,

Keep up the jolly spirit and have some fun!
