Life is lived in stages: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like an open book with many pages to be read... You start at the beginning, only ending when you're dead... But in between the start and end, are chapters that unfold... Lessons learned and pages turned and stories to be told.... Starting with Stage One: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You grow out of your baby stage, you're young and fancy free... You find someone and settle down, and start a family... It only takes a few years 'til it all becomes a bore... Then by the time you're thirty, you just know there's something more.... Now entering Stage Two: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Home is now the place that pushes you right out the door... Your mate has gone and you don't even care much anymore... You're only thirty, fancy free, and you find someone new... A little older, you join hands, to turn a page or two... Welcome to Stage Three: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now you feel as if you want to be up at the top... You spend your days and nights at work, not knowing when to stop... It may take twenty years for you to finally see the light... But when you do, it's by yourself, there's no one else in sight!! Open the door to Stage Four: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're older and much wiser than before... It's plain to see... You know just how to play the game, determine what will be... So it's your turn, the table waits, the dice are yours to cast... Life is just a gamble....................... And she saves... ~The Best~ ~For Last~ Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Hi jm.... Ahh, glad you enjoyed this little piece. Yes, the best stage is the last. Even if a person screws up stages 1,2,& 3.....there's still one to go at the end! Thank you, my friend!!< !signature--> Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! [This message has been edited by Sunny1 (edited 08-19-2000).] |

Hi Sunny, this was great! Just like you were telling me, only put into a poem. Perfect and fun, and hopeful, at the same time. Glad you had a chance to write. Sandra Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |

Sunny that is so sad but so true... unfortunately that's how it all works out sometimes. It does'nt seem fair that we start to mature and start to see things in the proper perspective at the very end of our life when there is so little years left. I like the title and the poem very very much ...keep up the good work! |
