Growing Up

One of the toughest times in life is growing up to be an adult from a teenager...When you realize that you are no longer "A CHILD".....It certainly pains..

I wrote this one because I felt a great deal of pain...More so because it felt convenient to live in denial of adulthood but realization struck that life could not be lived in denial..

Growing Up

Rain, Rain go away
Come again another day
Little Johnny wants to play
Rain Rain go away

The rain may go away
But Little Johnny cannot play
'Coz time has come for him to say
Goodbye to the childhood games of yesterday
Neon lights of the city beckon him away
To responsibilities and duty holds sway
Over each living day

Entering into a world dark and grey
Johnny will remember the day
The rain stopped to let him play
On a rain-washed evening on a drab friday
He'll remember the sleigh
That he rode into the sunset on a long-past holiday...
