Maturity

Years have passed....tears have flown....
And over the period, I have grown...
A man more matured....a man of steel......
A lot more rational in the way I feel....!

The way I acted in those days....
Laughing & crying in a myriad ways......
Was so childish....was so insane......
Childish were those yells in pain !

But now I think I have grown up....
To manage the load of challenges tough....
But somewhere I have lost the innocence...
That was quintessential in my adolescence !

Growing up is only growth....
Maturing is the height of youth....
When one is strong in head & heart......
Things are cosy & life is smart !

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
