Grown


In my youth I'd Skip and jump

And cry of every scrape and bump

Til one day when my tears were gone

And when I'd fall I'd simply yawn

For my skin no longer soft

And no more did I wonder of the stars aloft

For I am strong and tall

And around my heart I lay a wall

Not of stone nor of wood

But a wall built by my manhood

So no longer I cry or scream

But remininsce of memorires in my dream
