Age
Just a number
Not a child
Never been
Teen
Don’t be silly
I have been
Old since
Ever I can
Sense
Care of me
And some
Life long learning
Begins early
The creaking
That never
Set in
Vacation time
Something
I have been
Dreaming of since
My shower day
Friends
Family
Coworkers
That’s what I
Call them
Practice makes
For a tedious
Life but
That’s what
I was given
Learn
Serve
Listen
Serve again
Die
And that is a
A Benjamin
Button life
