Socks To Bed

He wears socks to bed because his feet are always cold not a boy anymore but a young man with a child's face So awkward the late teen years are you hanging on or letting go Between the edge of childhood into the burst of adulthood you can never go back once you step forward Is it so easy to leave things of a child and embrace those of an man So quickly they grow Life is unforgiving but rewarding Awaken barefoot prince wade into the shallow waters and lunge into her deep You go back to childhood through your children That's why grandparents love them so
