First and Last

the difference

First and Last

Life is a journey, a winding path,

With twists and turns, and moments that last,

It starts with a cry, and ends with a sigh,

And between those two, we live, laugh and try.

We set out on this journey, unsure of the way,

We stumble and fall, but we learn to stand and sway,

We explore the world, with curiosity and zeal,

We take in the sights, and everything we feel.

We make friends, and we lose some too,

We learn to love, and to bid adieu,

We face challenges, and we overcome,

We make mistakes, and we learn some.

We climb mountains, and we cross seas,

We chase our dreams, and we find our peace,

We experience joy, and we face sorrow,

We build our legacy, and we hope for tomorrow.

As we journey through life, we gather stories,

Of love and loss, of struggles and glories,

We find meaning in the smallest things,

And discover the beauty that life brings.

And when we reach the end of our path,

We look back at the moments that made us laugh,

We reflect on the journey we undertook,

And cherish the memories we hold in our book.

Life is a journey, a path we all must take,

With ups and downs, and choices to make,

It's a journey worth taking, with all its strife,

For it's the journey that gives meaning to life.

In life, we all have a first and last,

A moment that's etched in our past,

The first time we open our eyes to see,

The world around us is wild and free.

We take our first steps, unsteady and unsure,

Our little feet wandering, seeking more,

We learn to laugh, love, grow,

And embrace life with a child's glow.

And then comes the last, the final act,

At the end of our journey, no turning back,

We look back at the life we've led,

And ponder on the path we tread.

The memories flood, the good and the bad,

The joys we shared, the times we were sad,

We realize that every moment was dear,

And hold on to the memories that we hold near.

In the end, it's not the first or last,

But every moment that has passed,

That defines the life that we lead,

And the legacy that we leave.

So let us cherish each moment we're given,

Embrace the joys, and learn from the lessons,

In the end, it's not the first or last,

But every moment that's truly vast.
