Life

Born
Eyes shut so tight
He opens them
The world's so bright

Steps
One, two, three and four
Stumbling and falling
But a world to explore

Youth
Delights with friends
Laughter and bows
Days with no ends

Bored
He troubles mom today
She nudges him
Get out of my way

Brakes
And tires squeal
But no use
Is under that wheel

Gone
And soon out of sight
Leaves him there
Eyes shut so tight

A couple of weeks back, a friend of mine saw a puppy get run over. I wrote this then. I don't usually write serious rhyme; most of what I wrote at IIM-A was nonsense verse :). I enjoyed writing this.
