Walked to the living room
Grabbed my phone
Nodded off checking social media
Forgot why I went out there
This is annoying

Childhood’s End
Children now so tall
Just a few years left of school
Childhood’s ending
As I grow older
As I grow older
I shall resist feebleness
Living vibrantly
What is it to age?
Years go past, as they’re want to do.
I shall not despair time’s price.
Yet, though I may age, I refuse to whither,
And not go quietly into the goodnight.
No, I shall boisterously proclaim
My presence, embracing the love
Surrounding me. Grasping the
Blessedness of existence, of life.
