Worries

When I was young
and ever small
no thought came
to mind at all
of big boys and girls
and who they'd tell
my secrets and my worries.

Now that I'm older
I wish I could say
that I do not worry
'bout what they all say,
for there are times
that I do and
feel like crying, boo hoo.

As older I grow
I wish I could
even slowly show
how I feel
without fear
and maybe shed
a little tear.

When I'm lying
in my grave
looking back
on how I've made
my life and I
hope to be proud
at what I acheived.
