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
