Don'T Grow Too Fast (Dual Poetry)
Where are you running to child?
I am just running for excitement
Why do you hurry just so?
A child I am, you see
Is there someone you are meeting?
I’m not off to meet a stranger
Is it someone that I should know?
Why can’t you just let me be?
Are there things you should consider?
I am always so very protective
Will you be yet, on your guard?
Though, you might not think it so
Will you look both ways before crossing?
Yes, I look both ways before crossing
Do you have to leave this yard?
Or else I wouldn’t go.
Am I asking too many questions?
Sometimes you do ask too many questions
Can’t you answer and say?
But I know that you do care
Will you stay and play right here?
So I will stay for the moment
You can always go another day.
And not run off anywhere
Dual Poetry - my idea for two poems that make up one. Read it as one or as two
separate poems.
