Stages of life.

source

I rise in the morning
Like a bright new flower
Crawling, staggering and falling
Like the leaflets of a ripe flower.

I have four weak limbs
And toothless mouth
Always in my mother's arms
And feeling her warmth

I rise in the day
Like a healthy young bird
Running, jumping
Like a mature bird.

I rise in the evening
Going back to my early age
With weak body and the wrinkles
That shows the age.
