Notes About The Poem

Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud ~ BEAUTIFUL WORDS ARE HERE ! Poetry Contest ~ Date Written:8/16/2026

BECOMIMNG 

As one grows up, one is becoming an adult. At least that is what is supposed to happen, many want to stay as a child. No responsibilities, no growing up. Life can be more effervescent, in the adult world. So grow up, no one knows the harbinger of things to come.

Some are so 'childish' even after growing up. It is to be discouraged. At the same time being 'child like' is a commendable quality. Well done, dear Paula.

Great to see you here. "Thanks" for reading/writing on my "BECOMIMNG" write. Glad you found this to be, Well done. I feel there are two kinds of child like adults. 1. They will Not grown up. Act like a child. Do Not want to live in the adult world or responsibilities. Example. We had a friend that would not grow up. One night we were in a fancy restaurant. They took two forks, put a roll on each fork. Then danced them around the table like people. The table was so embarrassed. 2. Adults that know they are adults but like to have fun. Guess some never grow up. Have a blessed day writing away..............
