The Human Experience
The human experience
We enter this world with a soulful cry
as children we're gifted the skills to live
Nothing satisfies our questioning Why?
we learn, make mistakes, then learn to forgive
Teenagers say, "what do my parents know"
First love happens in a hormonal rage
"Can you give me ten bucks, I gotta go!
You pay until they enter the next stage
One by one the kids leave the fam'ly nest
You've done your best to give them a head start
You have worked hard, now you deserve a rest
Grand kids hold a special place in your heart
You don't feel old, but you must say goodbye
We let go of life - with a plaintive sigh!
