The Cycle of Life
First day of school The hesitant eagerness, The worried excitement. Parents checking supplies, Telling you you’re growing up. Siblings warn you and give Encouraging smiles. Hugs and kisses and You’re out the door, Ready for anything. You go to school, Nothing changes. Your eagerness levels drop. You finish the year, Enjoying summer until, Once again, it’s August Eventually you know you’re in a rut. For a few years, you accept it. Then you get to high school, the World goes crazy, and Before you know it, You’re a senior, on the top. In a few months you’ll Be out in the world. You’ve learned how to Drive, but the thought of Going out on your own Seems like your first road trip All over again. There’s college, interviews, Getting an apartment, Settling down, and a job. Blink and you’re halfway Through college And you’ve moved In with your boyfriend. Reunions take place. You Tell your parents they haven't Aged a bit and comment On how much your niece And nephews have grown. A few years later, You have a family of your own. You have a degree, You’re married, and You finally paid off the house. And now when there are Family reunions, You are the one Being told your Kids have grown. As you get Older, you begin to Realize that your Kids are going through The same thing. Time goes on and Your children grow and then They’re the ones telling you You haven't aged a bit. © 2011 CharleyAuthor's Note
