As A Child Grows Up Poem by Chantal Lammerts

As a child grows it develops,
Ideas and dreams start to form,
Wants and needs show their presence,
Goals are still hiding from the storm,
But soon even goals show up,
And dreams get real,
Needs are satisfied,
And they realize how they feel.

They feel the need to grow up,
To be to be missed when away,
They want to be loved and wanted,
And pleadingly asked for to stay,
They yearn for money to spend,
For a place to be their selves in,
To hold that one hand,
And pop the question, wearing that stupid grin.


A/N: wrote this for school, you had to write a poem of 2 paragraphs about what a child wants when it's an adult.... or something like that... well, the assignment is vague, but I tried... hope you like it! ! xx chantal
