Coming of Age
“Coming of age” happens twice in life
It not always at the same time
The physical change nature will bring
But, the other is in your mind
Sometimes an adult can be a child
And a child can be an adult
The physical change is still the same
The mental, an unknown result
It seems you mentally “come of age”
As responsibilities grow
Being responsible for others
Suddenly your adultness shows
Although you reach the “coming of age”
You still want to stay young at heart
That’s a condition you should maintain
So keep thinking young from the start
