I don't like it either, <br /> but, I have to do what must be done, <br /> what must be taken care of, <br /> seems a lot like growing up! <br /> <br /> I have learned that life won't let me be, <br /> the child that I want to be ... <br /> responsibilities are always tugging at my sleeves, <br /> I do the best that I can do, <br /> but, it always seems to find me. <br /> <br /> Somewhere on the highway, <br /> I pulled over on the shoulder, <br /> Just attempting to survive, <br /> Sammy and I agreed on this, <br /> I can't travel 55! <br /> <br /> That is where they both converged, <br /> two unlikely thoughts - - - <br /> <br /> It does not matter if I like it, <br /> What matters is, ' can I make it work '? <br /> - - - one way or another. <br /> <br /> The Kitty can be skinned in many ways, <br /> BUT, let's not do that to our cat! <br /> <br /> I don't like it either, <br /> evolving to maturity, means more responsibility, <br /> more, and more like growing up, <br /> more like growing old, <br /> more like less of life left, <br /> like the story to be told yet ...<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chasing-my-tale/
