Growing Up
Words on a wall
As one by one they fall
Soon to hit the ground
And a new lesson found
As we write again
Becoming women and men
Again they come crashing down
And our smile turns to a frown
But we don’t quit
We don’t let them omit
We put new words on the wall
Hurriedly trying to learn them all
So next time we will be ready
Able to keep emotion steady
As there goes one more
Crashing down on the littered floor
