Growing Up..

Growing is a life long process,

We grow at all instances,

Experiencing the vices and virtues in our way,

And learning to bounce back from all circumstances..

Looking back at time we see ourselves as kids,

The golden period of our life,

When tension and stress had no meaning,

And life was as easy as counting one to five..

But as all good things come to an end,

So did our golden childhood,

But it left with us those beautiful memories,

And preserving them is something that we should..

We began to grow and meet the real world,

We learnt to carry responsibilities,

We tried to stand on our own feet,

And learnt to come up with our abilities..

And soon we come to a phase,

Where we are bound to take decisions,

Where its important for us to part right from wrong,

And it requires a lot of precision..

Finally comes the stage of preaching,

Where we share our experience with this world,

When our words make up our personality,

And in our own emotions we are curled..

And we know that we grew up when we learnt to bare,

We grew up when we started facing our fears,

We grew up when we started speaking our heart's language,

And we grew up when our loud cries turned into silent tears..

This complete process of growing,

Has it's own importance,

Because its not only about physical or mental growth,

It's all about gaining experience..
