Life

Cells split quick
Then you kick
Entering a world brand new

Learn to walk
Learn to talk
There's so much learning to do

Go to school
Learn the rules
Have to try to grow up fast

Cap and gown
Face the crowd
Success story at last

Get a job
Earn a lot
Don't stop to take a rest

Have a kid
Blow your lid
Just know you did your very best

Then grow old
House gets sold
Hello, retirement home and friends

When you die
You say bye
But the cycle doesn't end

You have gone
But passed on
A legacy that lives again

Author's Note
A little ditty, perhaps? Either way, a poem meant to reflect, whether inspiring or defeating depends on your look on your own life, I would imagine. Hope you enjoyed!
