Stream of life

We start our life small and vulnerable

Happy to drift along,

Just like a babbling brook

We grow and learn

Growing into people

A stream we become

Not yet large

Nor ready to take on

Life alone

Then the time comes

When the stream has grown

Into a river

Adults we become

With it comes

The troubles of life

We twist and turn

A long the way

Still learning

Still growing

At the end of the river

We flow into

The unknown sea

To a life no one knows

But where we will be.
