Life's Exciting Journey

Eclipsed by Time

Eagerly, we embrace the dawn of youthful grace,

Cherishing each moment, in life's intricate maze.

Learning and growing, through the challenges we face,

Innocence fades like shadows in time's embrace.

Passion ignites our hearts, a radiant space.

Sudden shadows appear, obscuring life's race.

Embracing twilight years, we discover solace.

    "Innocence fades like shadows in time's embrace."- i like how this sentence shows how we grow up as we age, and the rhyme gives it a nice flow too Anthony:)
