It starts when you are born
New to the world that has just embraced your existence
It is only the beginning of a long journey

As time passes your eyes truly begin to open to the world
Your eyes become aware of varies people along with their actions and emotions
You try to understand these people, but it becomes difficult when they do not try to understand you

As time passes you become even more knowledgeable and you have picked a path to follow
However many obstacles and temptations try to manipulate your decisions
Only if your will is strong enough will you be able to pass these hurdles

As time passes you start your own family, continuing the cycle of life
You hope to teach your children everything you have learned
Then maybe they might just follow in your footsteps

As time passes years seem to merge and time seems to be going too fast
The advances in technology are astounding, going beyond comprehension as to how it works
But you realize you are not alone because many others are experiencing the same thing

As time passes it becomes more difficult to get through the day
You will often remember the past and all that you were able to accomplish in your life
These memories will keep you at ease as you gently go to sleep

As time passes people will come to visit your resting place
They will remember the good and bad times shared with you
Before leaving they have only one question they would wish to ask
Was your life worth living, and if so did you die happy
