Why does growing up
Have to mean giving up
What makes us, us
Why does it have to mean
Giving up
Every ounce
Of our innocence
In my opinion
Blessed are those
Who know how
To grow up
Without ever growing old
Because they understand
The difference
Between growing up
And growing too old
To learn something new
And still live to learn
If for no other
Reason than
They still know
It is the right thing to do
