Analysis of Past And Present
With age we gain responsibility,
A responsibility towards oneself and family,
Birthdays are celebrated with such happiness and joy,
Every birthday is a step closer to retirement,
Childhood memories are fulfilled with smiles and laughter,
Every child is a King having whatever they desire,
We now provide for others and oneself,
When looking back into the past,
All that remains are fond memories,
Memories are there to be shared not forgotten
