THE JOURNEY OF LIFE

Started when a child is born, 
Like a beautiful bud in a lawn.
Crying loudly for nothing, 
Those watching it feels like anything.
The infant grows into an innocent chap, 
Learns to walk and to clap.
Keeps walking but falls down, 
Makes a habit to troll around.
Innocence being the precious trait, 
Values taught by parents keep them straight.
Then comes the adolescence, 
Starts breaking down the innocence.
Friends and status do matter, 
Starts comparing their respective platter.
Video games are favourite time pass, 
Everyone presents theirs as high class.
Conflict and selfishness starts developing, 
Greed within us starts galloping.
Past it comes the teenage, 
This is a very mean age, 
A time when the clay is moulded, 
Keeps straight or becomes folded.
In this period no one else matter, 
Acts like abusing and insulting latter.
Nature becomes very rebellious, 
Freedom offered seems very delicious.
Most education is acquired here, 
Person becomes either coward or doesn’t feel fear.
Then comes the youth, 
Maturity is the real truth.
College starts shaping career, 
Person needs too removes every barrier.
When person enters their adulthood, 
It doesn’t matter where they stood, 
Responsibilities starts pricking, 
Ideas start clicking.
Responsibilities continues to chop, 
Times’ clock never stop.
Then comes the old age, 
This is a different stage.
Body comes to breakdown, 
Ideas are extensively grown.
Service to god becomes frequent, 
Lifestyle becomes very decent.
When this journey ends, 
Person recollects the years he spent.
Loss or gain he realize, 
But is gifted to death in disguise.
