We rise
And we fall
With age we realize
What matters most of all.
We turn
Left instead of right
A difference
Between day and night.
A path
We travel down
Trying to touch the sky
Without leaving the ground.
We love
Give our heart
And mourn it's loss
When it falls apart.
We share
We reach out
Giving of ourselves
Even though we have self doubt.
Lose friends
We cry
We so wonder
What happens when we die.
Lessons of life
We teach, we learn
Love, laugh
Taking our turn.
