In the mirror’s gentle gaze, I find,
A reflection of years that softly unwind.
The whispers of youth, now echoes in air,
A tapestry woven with care and repair.

Footprints left on a path unknown,
Each step a lesson, each seed sown.
The heart learns patience, the soul learns grace,
Embracing the rhythm of life’s endless race.

Gone are the dreams of innocent flight,
Now wings of wisdom take to the night.
The stars above, silent guides they become,
Leading the journey to where we’re from.

Maturity blooms in the garden of time,
With every struggle, a mountain to climb.
In growing up, we learn to be free,
Discovering the strength in you and me.
