In your first moments of life
Someone else falls and dies.
When you scream your 'baby scream'
Someone else screams in pain.
When you first start to smoke
Someone else is just giving up.
When you first drink alcohol
Someone else is getting drunk
You'll soon be an alcoholic.
When you drive your first car
Someone else is going too fast
Crash, and metal flies everywhere.
When you have your first date
Someone else is splitting up.
When you eventually get married
Someone else is getting divorced.
When you have your first child
Someone else is having an abortion.
When you argue, then divorce
Someone else is getting married.
When you grow old and die
Someone else is being born
The years go by!

Sums it up! Great write.
The years cannot be stopped. Good write.
Thanks. I only sometimes wish they could, but make most whilst here instead.
Great write, truly
