Growing Up
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
