Growing Up
So much has changed and we are all older
We like to act as if our lives aren’t shorter
So much is different but it just feels like the times
The times of comfort, pain, love, and hate. Lemonade of limes
We act as if we know where are lives are going to go
But we will soon meet reality and feel low
Still, in the present we don’t think
That reality is a bout that will always sink
So here is to us as we sail through
Through this new chapter, bold and new
Here’s to us planning a hopeful future
One as pretty as a picture
Just for now let us smell the roses
Unknowing of the thorns waiting in poses
Keep our waters quiet and calm
The breeze sounding out a perfect psalm
Keep the boat steady so we don’t yet drown
The moment of struggle is a future frown
But for now we sail adrift and away
Pretending we know the way
Let our young minds remain hopeful once more
Before we have to meet reality waiting by the door
