PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In a lifetime we have

Our ups and our downs

To death from birth.



In the morning,

We go to school

Taught to be our selves

Then turn to conformity

And told to shut up

We party, fall in love

And then we get hurt.



In the afternoon,

We find our true selves

Find a job, get married

Have children, quit your job

Have a mid-life crisis

Go grey, scream at kids

And then we retire.



In the evening,

We become grandparents

Find joy in little things

Celebrate a happy marriage

And the births of great-grand kids

Grow wrinkled and senile

And then we die.
