Growing Up

Sat, 04/27/2019 - 15:04 -- Kpetrie

When I was young, I was energetic and wild

I sang with the birds and daily laughed and smiled

I discovered the Earth’s beauty and all that’s in it

As well as the One who holds me close and does not quit

 

In life, we all go through hard things

Family members say goodbye and get their wings

Mother’s get sick and need a cure

It drags you down, but also makes you mature

 

When I was older, I realized life is just hard

To get through it, you think you have to put up your guard

But, when you let the Lord take your worries and fear

You immediately receive peace and inevitable cheer

 

I have learned when you are young it takes time

It helps you see that life is a climb

Growing up can be tough

But after all the suffering and hardship, Jesus is enough
