Early years

There are years spent, 

for growth and development, 

learning from our surroundings, 

and preparing, for future envisioned.

It's a period, we were entrusted, 

under guidance & supervision,

to protect, support, teach,

till we become independent. 

Yet, there were few exceptions, 

some may encounter misfortunes, 

where guardians fail their duties, 

being negligent, some exploitation.

Some were spoiled with options,

others follow strict regulations, 

as parents and teachers were involved,

for training, and imparting education. 

And here, lies a danger,

weakening their fragile hearts,

building stress over the time, 

that manifests as various illness.

From vague pains, to severe diseases, 

multiple addictions, even depressions,

while early onset of chronic illnesses, 

create havoc in younger minds. 

Early formative years,

they are important stage of life,

let us avoid stress, enjoy times,

build foundations, for healthier future. 

P.S. A lot of chronic illnesses are now manifesting in younger ages,

like diabetes, hormone, heart, PCOD,

Autoimmune disease.

Somewhere stress, lifestyle are culprits.
