More Than a Childsitting here dwelling on past events i ponder their meanings a lot i denied for many years not believing i could be wrong as time passed i slowly began to see what i didnt want to see growing up is more than a child turning into an adult i saw things i had done that caused much pain to those i loved i wasnt aware i could do so much damage just to grow up the pain i suffered was necessary for me to understand selfishness growing up is more than a child turning into an adult to see within myself to see the pains of others feeling how it felt having an illness that created compassion to others not pity for self caring for my mother seeing her in a different light learning to love her growing up is more than a child turning into an adult taking myself beyond my limits to fully understand what life really was understanding the realities and the responsibilities that came with it these i had never learned now i had to learn them to have life back growing up is more than a child turning into an adult i had learned so much of other things but never about me or family they had never meant much to me i was searching for truths i didnt know learning the importance of families and their bonding the real love i missed growing up is more than a child turning into an adult growing up is caring for others loving your family and mate with all your heart understanding what their feelings and needs are giving of yourself not taking these were hard lessons to learn almost a lifetime of learning now i know growing up is more than a child turning into an adult Vote for this poem
