Growing up

Birth, Exciting and Emotional
First Word, "SHE SAID MY NAME!"
First steps, "Come on, mummy will get you!"
Kindergarden, "Im a big girl now!"
Infant school, making friends and still not caring
Parents Evening, full of pride and surprises
Brothers and Sisters, bicker and squabble
"That mine!" or "I wanted that!"
Fun days out or a family disaster, what brings us closer together
Barbie dolls and Colouring crayons
Reading and spellings
School Journey arrives, saying goodbye
Tears and tantrums
Love and kisses
High school hits us right in the face
And we learn new things and make new friends
We become young adults
Important parts of society
Responsibilities and setting the example
The next generation
And we all wish day after day
"Why oh why did we want to grow up?"
