You watch them grow
From the time they are born
You live through the terrible 2s

Portrayed with a golden halo
And those angelic smiles
There go the fearsome fours

Now learning 2 write
Seven hours in school
What to expect when they're six?

Adventures and dirt
They're always at play
Even when they are eight years old

Now we skip forward
2 not such great times
2 the age of fifteen

Jose Cuervo and Mary Juana
Begin 2 enhance the lives
Of children called "fifteen"

Where 1ce was 'angelic'
Now lies 'stoned'
4 our fallen angels


 Life defines no more than what it is you ask for.

I like Jon's theory, as well! I've never heard it put quite that way before, but it is so true! I love your poem, too, Alicia!

I guess no one has noticed, but I got this idea from a response to another poem. The numbers I used instead of words add up to 15.
