"When Did I Grow Up" When did I grow up Was it when I didn't cry when I scraped my knee Or when God took you from me When did I grow up Was it when I learned life has bumps and is not always fun When will I grow up When I fall in love I've done that so no, I guess not When did I grow up Whose's to judge When I learned the value of money Or that days arn't always easy and sunny When I found out there's poor children And innocent people with no money When did I grow up When I learned a president cheats then gets impeached Or that everyday people lie, steal, and cheat When did I grow up When two accidents were tacked onto the novel of my life When I learned to drive Or now that I don't always lie When did I grow up When I write poetry to get through the obsectles of life Have I grown up Will I ever know, does it show When did I grow up When I said goodbye to my cat Duffy Or when a hard time made me smile cause i knew sunshine was on the other side Oh, I wonder will I ever grow up Will I ever grow up I hope so and on that day I guess I'll know By: ~Lisa Kennedy~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |

Nice poem. I don't think we ever stop growing up. I hope not any how. I hope I continue to grow with every experience of my life. "Every body has their destiny... I'LL CHOOSE MY OWN ~Hatebreed~ |

This was so great. The message and theme of this poem is so amazing. I'm glad there are kids out there thinking about these sort of things. Very impressive. Good one here!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

It's hard to know when we grow up isn't it! It is something that kinda just happens and we have no control over it! I love this poem - it speaks the truth!! Love Melz!! |

Wonderful questions Lisa ... and so nicely pondered. Once you begin to ask these questions ... you're already well on your way. I love poems like this that question various aspects of life ... very nicely done!  Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 12-15-2000).] |
