It’s simple, speaking in terms of evolving
You have babies, infants, helpless little beings,
Just being and needing.

Children; there they are playing
Laughing around, giggling, crying,
Launching tempers towards wanted things,
Meaningless flings with people they won’t know soon,
And all their knowledge now
Turns into nostalgia tunes.

Adolescent phase; hormone filled
Feeling alienated no matter how hard you try,
Your awkward body won’t be for long,
Please, do not cry.

Adult hood; my how fast it flew,
You didn’t think you’d see marriage within those two
Lot’s of regrets, and down turns you might have missed,
Block it all out, attend that grocery list.

Not so new anymore, fragile
Acceptance gained
Widowing a loved one brought you great pain
Although you had your fun,
it’s time to recycle yourself, death’s best
It’s alright to forget, now go on and rest.
