I am not a child anymore
I am a young woman of 24

I played with Barbie's
Until I was 17
Then I packed them away
One day when I cleaned
They are all under my bed
Collecting dust because
I don't play with them anymore

I liked playing house
Until I turned 12
And then it just got
Boring

I would go spend the night
With a friend until I was 18
But I out grew it

I read little kids books
Until I was in High School
They seem the safest thing
To read nowadays
But I moved up a notch
To reading Eugenia Price novels

I am not a child anymore
I have grown up
Childish things
I have given up
Because.....

I am not a child anymore

Cold hands means a warm heart

Too true. Just remember though, everyone needs fun.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
We do not stop playing because we grow ol

You are growing, in many ways....and
maturing into a young woman. A good thing
that is very nice to witness.
