Ephemeral Childhood


Things feel simple as a child

Every task and punishment is mild

But as we move closer to maturity

Consequences and reponsibilities will come surely

With everything comes change 

As a result we must rearrange

Our lives will never be one way

But if we look back we'll never go astray
