My Grow Up Moment
My Grow Up Moment
Boy or girl my parents were torn
That is until the day I was born
They had high hopes and dreams for me
And wondered what I would turn out to be
Growing up I loved dolls, pasta and Scooby Doo
I enjoyed making things with glitter, paint and glue
I was my grandma’s favorite little girl
To me she was as precious as a pearl
When my grandma got sick
It seemed like it came on so quick
To know that she came home to die
Made me so sad all I could do was cry
For the month it took for her to pass
I prayed each week for her at school mass
Visiting her each day was very hard
She could no longer watch me play in her yard
When she didn’t get better and only got worse
I knew then that I wanted to be a nurse
I was just a girl at the age of eleven
When my grandma died and went to heaven
I guess when she passed is when I grew up
Seeing her teeth on the table in a cup
I realized things don’t last forever
Whether its people, teeth or whatever
So my thoughts were that I wanted to help the sick in need
Even if it was just to clean and cover their bleed
I studied real hard from then on to be my best
So that next year I can pass the NCLEX test
I can’t wait to care for those
In honor of my Grandma Rose
