A child’s eye, full of wonder,
Exploring the world, hour by hour.
Their joy knows no bounds,
Innocence abounds.
Adolescence, a time of change,
Where growth and turmoil intermingle.
The world feels so vast,
As emotions run fast.
Adulthood arrives, with new challange,
Responsibilities and struggles.
A time to build a life,
To find one’s own path in strife.
In middle age, wisdom grows,
Experience teaches, knowledge shows.
A life well lived, with lessons learned,
Tough challanges can still be spurned.
In old age, time moves slow,
Tough memories linger, to and from.
The years may fly, the body may fail,
But the mind holds stories without fail.
When death arrives, a life is complete,
A story told, a soul at peace.
The journey’s end, a time to rest,
To reflect, as the soul finds its quest.
I am Thobile Simelane, I am a child of God. I am not a professional writer but just a person who loves to read and write. Also a person who’s on a journey of self-discovery.
