Growing Up...
June 13, 2010
Life is so easy
When you are young
When kisses heal boo-boos
and lullibies are sung
It seemed that life;
could go on for years
as long as the nightlight was there
to quiet our fears
Why does growing up
have to be so hard?
When did the world become bigger;
than our own backyard?
There is no recess
To stop the stress of a hard schoolday
There are no falling stars
To take our worries away
Decisions are more complicated
Now that we're grown
Why can't we go back,
When life was our own?
