The Turning Point- Rocco La Tour


The Turning Point                                By: Rocco La Tour

                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                              

 

In life you have to make changes,

When you grow life becomes different,

You need to adapt and become a new person,

When you’re a child there are moments in life…

That change you.

 

Playing on the beach with my friends,

Surfing, swimming, and skimboarding,

Being at the beach all day,

That is life as a kid,

 

No responsibilities,

Coming home late,

Sleeping in,

That is life as a kid,

 

However, you grow up and your life changes,

When your parents get a divorce,

When you need to get a job,

When your family member gets cancer,

When your grandma is getting old and can’t hear,

 

Moments like these change you,

They make you notice that life is changing,

That is life as an adult.
