GROW

BY DADA PRECIOUS



I remember then,
When I used to build houses with sand
When I used to run around with glee
When playing in the rain was heavenly
When dancing in parties was a source of income

I see now,
that houses are a dream come true
that running around is needed to survive
that playing in the rain was a way to cry secretly
that dancing in parties is making yourself happy
that life is about good and bad.

Grow up,
You'll link up
While linking up, sit up
If-not life would just offer you its throw-up
And you get a "Boo!" instead of many thumbs up.

  1. Takes me to the times we were young.
    Not bothered to give a care
    With glee we scream our lungs,
    On our sleeves, our heart we bare.

    With no worries, love was just ours to enjoy,
    Without a doubt, our task was to annoy.
    With smiles on my face, I reminisce,
    What a life we had, so full of bliss.

    Now we have to grow a pair,
    Work and live not to fall into life's snare.
    Living life with prayers on our lips,
    And relaxing on our ships with wine and chips
