In the hush of twilight’s gentle embrace,
A child stands on the precipice of time,
A world unknown yet whispered in dreams,
A symphony of change begins to chime.

The mirror reflects a face still soft,
Yet shadows of maturity start to play,
A dance of hormones, a storm of thoughts,
As innocence slowly ebbs away.

Voices deepen, and limbs grow long,
Emotions surge like waves on a restless sea,
Friendships bloom, and sometimes fade,
In the intricate tapestry of puberty.

But within this chaos, a strength is found,
A spirit forged in the fires of change,
For every ending is a new beginning,
In the beautiful, tumultuous journey of age.
