A new adventure every step
Grade after grade, we pick up the pep.
Year by year, day by day
We grow & mature in every way.
Friends lie & friends change
Hoping we find those who stay.
Tears are shed,
and blood is bled,
But we get up & start again.
Decisions done and decisions made
All become who we are & fade.
As we grow, our stories are told
About how young we were & now how old.
Our lessons learned
& the tears burned
Are all part of our lifelong adventure
Of who we are & what we'll be.

You wrote this in a thoughtful way, and I like how you describe both the joys and the hardships of life, and how throughout life, we learn. I also like the last lines "All part of our lifelong adventure of who we are and what we'll be"-kind of leaves you thinking and contemplating who you will be someday:)
