                                        up,
As the years of our life add
   

                                                 birds.
                                          like
                                 away
                            fly
Stages of existence

                         away.
Infancy flies
                          away.
Childhood flies
                          away.
Adolescence flies

 

                    away until we have
              fly                              no
        all                                         more
They                                                       left.
