Helii OROPOT

The seven ages of man

voici un poème que j'ai écrit en anglais sur les 7 étapes


Life is a concept, a concept that none fully understand
Too short to do everything, too long to be thrown away
Time flies by too fast, none can master it
One’s life is only a brief instant full of invents

Life starts with the love of a tender mother
An imprint will always stay in the deep of one’s heart
Pure, sinless, joyful, harmless, beautiful, infants are so
All were once a infant even if many don’t remember

One grow, learn how to speak, how to walk
Learn about the others and the world one lives in
Full of spirit, joy, imagination and dreams
Children are innocent, impatient to grow older

A time of change soon comes : the change from the child to t
Full of joy, tears, hope, doubt, anger, frustration, friends
Mixed feelings creating confusion and questioning
It isn’t always easy to follow the right path

Freedoms and responsibilities come with an adult
An opening on a new world, the real world
Independent, confident, responsible
An adult decides for himself

A desire a to built a family comes with love
Promises are made, until death tears apart
Full of hope, joy, excitement and impatience
The couple waits for the due-day

As time goes by, life has its ups and downs
Protecting, punishing, caring, bringing up,
Parents look at their children and recognize themselves
And remember the time when their were young

Year after year, one grows older and older
Knowing that no one is immortal
Concerned about the heritage one is leaving for the future g
Slowly, gently, calmly, one goes in peace
