With age comes the weight of responsibility’s might
Bills to pay, and expectations to ignite
The fire of youth, that once burned bright and free
Now flickers dim, beneath the weight of destiny
The carefree days, of laughter and of play
Give way to duties, that never fade away
The world looks on, with eyes that expect and demand
A life of purpose, built on solid ground to stand
The pressure mounts, the stress begins to show
As dreams and goals, are weighed against the toll
Of time and toil, that takes its steady pace
Leaving us to wonder, if we’ll find our place
In this world of wonder, where we once did roam
We now must navigate, the path to a life back home
With every step, a new challenge comes in sight
As we strive to meet, the expectations of life’s light.
