The Journey of Growing Up

Growing up, was a journey so grand,

From a child so small, to a man so planned.

We laughed, we cried, we stumbled and fell,

And learned so much, that served us well.

We chased our dreams, and we reached for the stars,

And faced our fears, and the scars.

We loved and lost, and loved again,

And learned to live, and be brave men.

We traveled roads, that took us far,

And we met people, from near and from afar.

We learned new things, and we gained new sight,

And we saw the world, in a brand new light.

But as we age, and the years go by,

We realize that the journey is nigh.

We look back on our lives, with a smile so wide,

And remember the days, when we were small and spry.

And though we've grown old, and our hair turned gray,

The memories we've made, will never fade away.

For they are a part, of the person we are,

And they'll always be there, shining like a star.
