“Life” by foreverhope
You know you’re young when
you can’t believe you don’t have a pile of waiting presents
when you dream of tooth fairies and boogie monsters
when you get cross because someone taught you a lesson
You know you’re growing up when
you aren’t shielded from the world anymore
when you dream of relationships and love
when you want to find out what you’re in store for
You know you’re old when
you don’t have the strength to deal with the corruption
when you dream of a peaceful life at home
when you smile at the children who wave to you
and remember the time when you were young
But you only know you’ve lived when
You’ve let go of your fears
when you took a chance at your dreams
when you learned to be happy
when big or small, you’ve made a difference
