In the dusk of childhood’s end,
We tread the path unknown,
Leaving behind the innocence,
For wisdom to be shown.

The days of laughter echo soft,
As shadows start to grow,
The world reveals its complex self,
In lessons we must know.

With every step, a piece of us,
Is shaped by time’s embrace,
We learn to face the storms of life,
With courage, strength, and grace.

And though the road is long and hard,
Each moment helps us see,
The beauty in the growing pains,
As we become who we’re meant to be.
