Need opinions! Poem that i wrote?

What do you think about this poem? I'm not sure if i like it or not and i need opinions! thanks in advance!

You come into this world

and high hopes fill the room

another life to be celebrated

is now born.

A few years come and go around

and before you even know it

you’re having friendships, and hearts broken

you’re now torn.

you find the one you’ve dreamed about

and you celebrate the perfect day with him

you’re life is better than it’s ever been

you’re grown up now.

you start a family of your own

and before you know it, they’re all grown

looking back on the times when you were all so young

you’re growing old now.

and you tell them you’re last wishes,

just before you have to go

you’ll be in a better place, you hope that they will know

you’re now holding on.

they surround you taking care of you

even in the last of days

you wish that you could bring them comfort, just in any way

and now, you’re gone.

and it repeats again

only too soon for them all

those trying to make this life last

until we get to the next.

Update:

i made the last line of every stanza short on purpose- i used that to represent that life is short and each stage of life just flies by. see what i did there? :)

    Well, I guess I can say they are original. I've never heard anyone speak in such a way about fungus. I'm not sure what the object of that poem was... As for the first poem, it's alright. I mean, you started out very strong, but your lines run into each other and destroy the flow. I stumbled over words and had to go back, and that turns readers off. Also, I'm not sure what tilting the head symbolizes. It's a very vague image. Please explain it to me, because I feel as if I'm missing the resolution. I don't like the second one at all...

    i would make the last line of every paragraph longer

    right now you have the rhyming as AABB

    i think she should make your first paragraph rhyme with the 3rd paragraph

    and make the 2nd paragraph rhyme with the 4th paragraph

    but that is just my opinion
