Life´s Span

 

Childhood is a growing stage

until we reach a certain age

Then we enter adolescence

and feel shy about our very presence

Soon arrives the fullness of maturity

which banishes any vestiges of purity

Later on along life´s lane

we sometimes end up lame

But the end does finally come

when we are all said and done

This experience takes many years

from teddy bears to arm chairs

Can someone tell me what its all about

before I go crazy, yell and shout?

Officially it is called Life´s Span

which we have no choice not even to ban

We arrive, thrive and finally dive

but I fail to see why we even strive
