Analysis of What's in a Life?

A child can see only goodness in all
Life is a mystery with pieces to solve.
But as the years pass it's time to rebel
To lie and confound, to bend and compel.
Adults do not see the necessity of this
But they the result, reality they miss.
For no one survives without darker skills
It builds up the strength, the character and will.
We gain more than trust and learn how to fight,
Understand faith and seek greater light,
Grow wiser still with ages that fade
Pass on all our heart in all that we've made.
Then when we are gone a part yet remains
Through history we see just all that we gain.
