When I reached my first step, I was still a kid but had grown a little tall,

Then came my second step, I wasn't shy and was known by all,

When I reached my third step, it was fun enough with all,

When came my fourth step, I left my childish habit, but still used to play with pets and dolls,

When I reached my fifth step, it was interesting but was sensitive after all,

When I reached my sixth step I was responsible enough to judge what was right and what was wrong,

When I reached my seventh step it was fun, great pleasure after all,

And at last have to reach the stars of the sky someday or the other, and keep smiling forever.
