Dawn of a New Phase

From a comfort zone which is carefree
To a new stage more lively
New experiences and opportunities
A time to decide more wisely

Starting from the twenties
Going on until the sixties
Assigned with new responsibilities
Full of energy and possibilities

Parents will loosen their grip on us
Allowing us to choose what we like
Watching us from a distance
As we begin our new life

With new responsibilities comes stress and worries
Where a single act may decide our future
Financial needs and supporting families
Might not be entertaining as you picture

From the foundations gained from childhood
Hiking throughout the life on our own
Stepping into the new world of adulthood
Dawn of an independent and responsible soul.
