Standing on the threshold, your future unmapped
who knows what adventures lie ahead?
which paths will you take?
which avenues will you dawdle down?
what rewards will you seek?
Everything lies before you
the big world beckons.
Choose wisely, my son
but not too wisely.
Life’s not a dress rehearsal.

Each time he asks:
life well-lived or just a bystander?
Young soul or old,
are you still curious?
Will you go round again?
do more, or better this time?
The wheel of life:
treadmill or merry-go-round?
Will you go round again?
learn more, and see more this time?
Turning on and endlessly on
the wheel of life
Will you go round again
or leave at the terminus?
Your choice.
Will you go round again?
