I Used To Be

I Used To Be ...
I used to be full of energy,
but now i'm calm.
I used to have no brothers,
but now I have two.
I used to be little,
but now I'm big.
I used to have a great grandpa,
but now I don't.
My grandma used to buy everything,
but now she doesn't.
I used to cry,
but now I sing lullabies...

Very interesting. Simple yet you've said so much in these few words.
