I'M 10

My name is josh
And I'm 10
It took me some time
To reach this age
But here I am
And to me that's
A pretty big deal
Now that I'm 10
The world as I knew it
From ages 1 thru 9
Has changed
Now I'm a big boy
Mommies baby
Maybe
But I'm a big boy now
So that means
Mom should relax
With all of the public
Kisses in front of my friends
And wiping my face
with your wet finger
Because I'm 10
That doesn't mean
that I don't have to
follow directions, or be disrespectful.
I know that
I have a few more
responsibilities now
So I want to prove
to my mom that
I'm the little man
for those little jobs
that she's giving me.
But I still want to be able
to be a kid and have
my fun climbing trees,
ride my bike,
play video games
and rough house
with my sister
And my friends
Because I'm 10
