Growing Up

Growing up is hard,

And there is not much else to say.

Hard lessons are learned,

Day by day.

There are times when it is painful,

When you do not understand.

But the outcome of these moments,

May define a woman or man.

Growing up pulls you,

In ways unexplained.

But be of good courage,

Accept each day.

And you may find,

That growing up.

Holds beauty,

In the midst of pain.
