Eddies of Life 2.03 Childhood — Youth — Old Age
The three around the fire sitting,
Gossiping of Life and its doings,
Reached a point thought provoking,
Of their journey and life prevailing.

CHILDHOOD:
“Please do not leave me at this time,
Youth, do take me in your prime,
For I an entertainment will but be,
With playful antics in life’s journey.”
[4] — 2
YOUTH:
“No! You can not accompany me,
As struggles exist in my journey,
Your playful antics will not be,
In my stride of any necessity.”
[5] — 2
When on Youth tiredness grows,
Childhood memories do then glow,
But Old Age with its aged face,
Now stares at Youth in this race.

OLDAGE:
“Of no use it be to remember him,
You move ahead now in this game,
Childhood once gone never returns,
Forget Childhood — Love me in turn.
[7] — 2
Struggling ahead as you had moved,
Your tiredness now I shall remove,
Come on my lap relaxingly do lie,
And sleep with my pleasant lullabies.”

Thinking of Childhood — its playful taps,
The Youth now lies in Old Age’s lap,
Who caressing with weak trembling hands,
Sings cradle songs of eternal sleep grand.
