Private Notes

I wanted to grow up so
bad but I forgot growing
older meant they did too.
I forgot that slowly time would
take them away.
I forgot that one day I'd
have to find my own way.
I forgot that one day it would
never be the same.
I forgot that one day I'd
have to visit your grave.
I wanted to grow up so bad
but I forgot eventually
everything ends.
Eventually we all....

Fade Away......

    My grandparents also raised me and I feel like we have that little bit of understanding other people our age might not, because our "parents" leave us far sooner. Beautiful piece.

    I always wanted to be older as well. Now I wish I could just stay the same age forever, lol. Great work Regina!

      Lol, thank you! My kids always tell me they can't wait till there "grown-ups", I just smile shake my head and say "Oh just wait!" lol.

    I really feel this poem. I miss my grandpa sooo much. He was my "dad" too.
