As you get older
You will start the transformation into adulthood,
Remember to mind your manners
Remember to go to sleep at bedtime
Remember to forget about the monsters in your head
Stop checking under your bed
Remember to never be silly in public
Remember to stop playing with your food
Shaping your mashed potatoes into castles
Creating a world only known to you
Remember to stop watching cartoons
Stop giggling about minor occurrences that others deem inappropriate
Remember to lose trust in everyone
Because they are learning to lose trust in you too
Remember to stop making up stories
Stories that u conjured in mere minutes with your little bitty brain
Remember to come inside and do ur work
Instead of playing wild in the dirt
Remember to mind ur manners
Remember to be on time and never let anything fun hold u up
Remember all of this because soon you will be an adult
And you won't have to remember any of it after all.
