Growing Up, Going Away

a poem

By Mark GrahamPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

What is growing up?

is it just a physical thing or

a mental thing,

it is both.

One must think

from the time we are born

if you really think about it.

It is a time of learning;

acceptance,

responsibility,

caring, in general,

just remember to listen.

Growing up and going away

is a way of showing;

love,

friendship,

understanding of self and

others.

and caring again.

We must all grow up

and go away

that's just the way it is if we

must continue to grow and

always learn

what's around the corner.

Look,

Listen,

Learn,

and Remember what was said.
