GROWING PAINS
by John W Townsend → (All Poetry by John W Townsend)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

The art of growing.

Take your time in growing up

stay a child as long as you can,

the experience you will miss

when you become man or woman.

All to soon those years will pass

like photographic memories

the memory will last.

Then will come the expectation

education to achieve

forget about the toys and things

now they will be replaced with dreams.

Children certainly seem to grow up far too quickly these days. The expectation of some adults certainly doesn't help. I like your words. Cheers! Liz
