There's More To Life

We are welcomed in to this world kicking and screaming;

Hoping for more, yet ever dreaming.

Striving to learn, to touch, to love,

Finding our feet and stepping through rough.

We grow, and yearn, and cry, and weep;

Taking on challenges although still meek.

We age through smiles, tantrums and frowns,

Breaking new barriers and searching new grounds.

Exploring ourselves and the possibilities of life,

We struggle through times of hope and strife.

Growing and changing with Mother Nature;

Learning new ways from the words of the teacher.

Out on our own in the big wide world;

Continuing to grow and work and build,

Boasting to all how easily we cope,

Finding our way through love and hope.

A new born created, all concerned are relieved;

More reasons to live now than just to breathe.

Enjoying the love and raising a family,

Battling hard to be happy ideally.

The end is near, my time has come;

All I have lived and all I have done.

Gone soon the family and gone soon the wife,

Seems to me There's More To Life.
