Life's journey

Life can be a drama,
Thoughts that can confuse,
Feel that you're not good enough,
Then sometimes that you can't lose

You're born without no fears,
The Pride of your parents eye,
You Want to stay young forever,
But you can't so you don't try

We all will age through time,
It's one of the certainties in life
You're Born, get old and pass
If you're lucky you meet a wife.

Progress through school with flying colours,
A young man you soon become,
Chance to stand on your own 2 feet,
Depart the safety of dad and mum

Go to uni get a job,
The next steps down life's long road,
Responsibilities they'll start to build,
You start taking on some load

Work, money and emotions
They all will leave their mark
All you want is to see daylight,
As you look to see through dark

Relationships frustrate you,
Try to find your missing piece,
You set out on loves journey,
Deep breath and now release

The right decisions they aren't easy,
Sometimes you blink and find the one,
Turn y our back for just one second,
Blink twice and then she's gone.

You take her hand passed by her father,
Exchange vows and soon your wed,
A wonderful moment of pure excitement,
Down the path that you have led

The patter of tiny feet soon come,
Doesn't take long til they arrive,
Then the main duty you now have in life
Is just keeping them alive.

Give them everything you wanted,
Give them more than they should need,
Educate them with life's morals,
Support them to succeed.

Their life cycle follows yours,
They're born get old and die,
But the journey should be different,
From the ones of you and I.

As we get old then so do they,
Life could be on repeat,
They leave the nest of their parents
And stand on their own 2 feet

Grandchildren soon on the doorstep,
A pleasure to behold,
One of life's truest pleasures,
Of ageing and getting old.

Then soon will come that moment,
Where your heart has its last voice,
Can you leave this world without regret,
Everything you did was the right choice?
