A Note from a Grown-Up Child

Folder: 
The Light

I am twenty-one years old today

But tomorrow I'm turning fifty

The journey of life - the roads I've taken

Have aged me ever so swiftly

 

What happened to my inner child?

Who's been replaced by voice of reason

I trust my youth still lives insides,

She's only resting for this season

 

How did I become so bold; so stern?

I was just a kid yesterday it seems

When did life take such a turn

And bring me all the worry of adult-like things?

 

Must I become a product of age?

Can't I just stay young for the rest of my days?

This frightening feeling of growing up fast

Sure makes me cherish my inspiring past

 

Thank you, Mom and Dad,

For raising me right --

You taught me that this life

Is surely filled with love and light

 

Thank you to my sister,

And thank you to my friends

For showing me at any age

The spirit of childhood never ends.

Yesterday

Has passed me by
Left me in the great divide
Between the kid I used to be
And the man I'll someday be
Yesterday has said goodbye
Where childhood left, a grown-up lies
But I can still remember
To always look inside
Back upon the simpler
Days that have gone by


You're work has a power in its brilliance. Echoes left from remnants. Thank you for the inspiration :)
