Growing Me

My mother and father vow to be together -
This is growing me.
My mother is so young to be growing me,
But work and school together help in growing me.
When I am born, the time was short
Life is harder for each of them -
but grandparents delight in growing me.

An incubator is groing me
Living in sunshine is growing me
Like a tree
My muscles stay small and growing me is
Introduced to doctors and surgery.

Going to school begins
And this is growing me.
Playtime and storytime, nap mats and PT
Become part of growing me.
See Jane run; see Spot too.

Growing me is blessed; friends
A new address
I learn to use the phone
Mommy teaches how growing me began
Soon I'll have a sister. What a plan!
So much growing, you don't know
Growing me doesn't seem so slow

My mother and father are no longer together
This is growing me
New city
There I'll have to be
I'm sad, mourn change
This will impact growing me.

Finish H.S. finish college
This is growing me
Keep up friendships for tomorrows
I'm blessed with growing - me.
Now I marry - vow forever
This is who I'll be.

Have a family, boy and girl
Motherhood is growing me
Looking back, looking forward
Wisdom grow in me
Love my country, save the planet
Reading news and staying at it
This is what I see
Growing older always happens
All the love, the dedication
All for growing me.
