When I Grow Up

When I grow Up,                                                                                                                                                                                      I cannot wait to wear makeup.                                                                                                                                                              I thought my adult friends would be an inspiration,                                                                                                                     they are turning out to be temptation.                                                                                                                                                  I thought these loving partnerships,                                                                                                                                              would turn into great loving relationships.                                                                                                                                    What will be my destiny?                                                                                                                                                                    all I want to do is flee.                                                                                                                                                                              I will leave my artistic world behind,                                                                                                                                                 maybe I will never be a bride.

Friendships and relationships can be complex at times--but, we have to believe in our own dreams--never too late, Paula.

You are so right. I do believe in my dreams. Some have come true, some I am still waiting on and some have turned into other things. Have a wonderful day writing..............

Thank You, for your note. My dad always said, "hind sight was a wonderful thing." I must agree. Right now, I wish I had some hind sight for some problems I am facing. Have a wonderful day writing.....

We always dream at any age of things we desire or want. Sometimes we don't reach those dreams but dreams are free and keep us living. So we don't ever give them up. Good write ...Hugs :)
