Growing Up

When I was a child I used to imagine how it would be,
When I would finally grow up and become what is now me.

I wondered what it was like and looked forward to the day,
When I could do anything and all my worries would go away.

I miss those young and care-free days, my adolescence too.
I wish there was someone now that would tell me what to do.

Every child out there always looks ahead,
But isn’t it funny how adults wish their childhood back
instead.

So when my daughter asks me what is in store ahead?
I tell her not to worry and just enjoy today instead.
