Growing up

Growing up is why

we are told to go and play then

now go get a job.

******

Remember when you

could ask almost anything

now do it yourself.

******

A time to be born

lessons learned for good or bad

Now a time to die.

******

Childhood is a time

to laugh and play many ways of

learning the ways for.

    Growing up comes much too soon - and unfortunately, our society rushes kids into growing up way too fast. I really liked this well thought out piece, Mark. Great job.

    I started working at about 12 with my mam and dad, I was washing up at a restaurant they worked in at week ends. I love this one 😊😝😊

    I started working at about 10 and I'm still working at 71. Things change and that is just the way it is. With our world today, who knows what will be happening soon.😉💕

    Memories of childhood. I remember my first job as a teenager. I felt so grown up.
