👉 A phase.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek, At this word "stage," it’s more than just a peak! The dictionary tells us, “A phase,” you see, But that’s just part of what ‘stage’ can be. Think about a play, with costumes bright, Actors stepping forward in the spotlight light. That's one kind of stage, a place to perform, Where stories unfold and bravely transform! But “stage” also means a period, slow or fast, A step in life’s journey, built to last. Like childhood stages, then teenage years, And adulthood’s changes, silencing fears. It could be a process, growing day by day, A turning point where you find your way. So "stage" can mean performance, bright and bold, Or a phase of life, a story to unfold! Does that make sense? Any questions for me now?
