Analysis of Life
My parents say that I will live only once
I don’t believe that’s true
As I become a different person as I grow
Depending on what I go through
From the day that I arrived on earth
I grow, develop and change
So how can I remain as one
When nothing stays the same?
Everything changes day by day
I have different emotions everyday
Some people are enchanted with babies
Seeing magic in all that they do
Of course, we also all lived as a baby
But that’s no longer you.
Yesterday’s you has gone away
But do not cry for the past you.
For you’re all you can be today;
They're just the person you were yesterday.
