Morning light appears—
youth runs laughing through blue skies,
dreams riding the wind.

Endless roads ahead,
hearts bright with untold stories,
the world wide and new.

Twilight gathers slow,
paths turning in different ways—
wisdom finds its voice.

Rain falls, shadows teach,
joy and sorrow woven tight
in life’s patient loom.

Adulthood unfolds,
a deeper, steadier song
rising with the sun.

Gratitude awakens—
each new dawn a quiet gift
waiting to be shaped.

Years flow like soft notes,
yet every sunrise returns
to begin the song.
