Inevitably

Inevitably,

When we are young

We will meet our first friend

And precious, innocent memories will now begin.




Inevitably,

One day our first love will suddenly appear

Our heart filled with enduring emotions

A new aspect of life has now become clear.




Inevitably,

We will face a crossroad, where a decision must be made

Learning to choose right from wrong

Our moral foundation now being laid.




Inevitably,

We will learn what it means to truly be in love

To want to give all we can give

And be thankful for this gift from above.





Inevitably,

The day will come we will experience a broken heart

We will experience what real sadness is

And we will learn how to make a fresh start.




Inevitably,

One day we will hurt those we care about

Although not through ill intentions

We now begin to experience self doubt.




Inevitably,

After taking something for granted, we will learn to go without

It is then we will know true regret

And what being thankful for what we have is all about.




Inevitably,

Through the years, as we age and grow old

We will realize our best years are behind us

And all these precious memories, we must always keep hold.





Inevitably,

One final day Death will be knocking at our door

How it is we will choose to greet him

Will depend on the person we have chosen to become.

Whether rich or poor.
