SHADOW TALES

At toddler, I watch the sagging Head
with staggering legs, teary eyes with
countless wants and fragile hands with free mind
At teen, my eye witness
the change in shape and
mind prepping for the stage of adulthood
As the scenery of Adult unfolds, I see
The sagging head, held high and upright
leading directions at night
Staggering legs, set to embark on steps of the journey
Teary eyes turn weary with a smile plastered
and mouth filled with untold stories hoping to be listened to
Weary eyes that stays up at night with worries
Fragile hands, clenching strong with
Might and strength for things to share
Free mind, worn out with fears to hide
and a lot to keep inside
Now I watch the person in me
struggle and grow grey
While I'm here like a ray
