Getting Older

by Desiree Milosh aged 12

Walking down this road
It is getting kind of lonely
One day you’re a baby
Next day you’re crawling
Then you begin to walk
Than WHAM you can talk
Then you go into shock
When you turn ten
Then you are 16, 18, then 21
Then can really have some fun!
You can drive, get married, and go out on your own!
Wow, is that not fun, I know!
But now you are getting old
40, 50, 60 then play with your grandkids
Then you get too old to play
That’s when you say, “I have had a good life”
That’s when you lay your head to rest
Next to you husband or wife.
