Then You Grow Up K. Reiter 5 10 15 20You like toy trucks and rubber ducks. You climb the walls and throw footballs. You play outside and like to slide. You ride your bike and know what you like. You love your dad and cry when you’re sad. You watch cartoons and pop balloons. But then you grow and you start to let go. You like different things and start to spread your wings. You love life minus the strife. You learn new skills and experience some thrills. No matter your age you can turn the page. Remember who you are You are a shining star.
