Getting Old


New, and inspirational,
That's the beauty of a new born,
Cute, mischievous, yet so innocent,
The baby grows into a child of
great wonder and a sparkling mind
that grows for knowledge.
Though all that curiosity lands on that once
so innocent baby, into teenage years of great discomfort
Only gets worse from there, when BAM!
College hits and that child that was so young is living alone
paying their own bills and cooking their own food
Only if it could stop, but adulthood arrives with
a baby in the carriage, responsibility takes over and
a much more serious person rises form
that once so ignorant baby,
Great sadness arrives, as time delays,
the once so young baby wither by day and then
the heart stops beating

If we could stop aging,
how would life turn out?
