Ode to Life's Cycle

I wrote an ode poem for poetry class, so I thought I would share it on here.

The beginning of life can hold interest

When someone's first born, they are like a bird in a nest

They need to learn things so when they leave, they leave at their best

But before they leave, they need to learn and rest

They also deserve love which should never be a request.

The older someone becomes, the more their personality will shift

Some bonds will stay strong while others will have a rift

Other things will forever be lost and missed

But in the end people should be glad that they exist

And it's not life if people don't persist.

Once a certain age has been hit

It gets harder to do things bit by bit

Some might be in so much pain, that they can only lay and sit

If the pain of aging gets too bad, the person might choose to quit

Once death occurs, to the next life they transmit.

Death can cause quite a situation

It can lead to a person's burial or cremation

If only death could be easily understood like a translation

Which is why that word can be surrounded by a fearful fixation

This is one of the many reasons why life itself is a celebration.
