Stepping Up To Life

Do you ever stop and think about The chapters of folks’ lives? They started from absolutely nothing Took on a husband or wife Bought a house and then planned A family, one kid at a time Careers went into the mix It’s all so interesting, I find Bought a car and chose a pet Tried hard to make it all work Responsibilities piling up Mysteries would constantly lurk Chapter after chapter of their lives Ticked by till retirement came Some responsibilities gone No, life was never the same Now spring is here once again Sure, there are new kinds of strife But folks will do as they always have They are stepping up to life!
