In the garden of my youth, seeds of wonder sown,
With every passing year, a new leaf has grown.
From the roots of innocence, branches stretch wide,
Embracing the sky, with dreams open-eyed.

Seasons come and go, like chapters in a book,
Each moment a lesson, if we choose to look.
The sun and the rain, both play their part,
In shaping the spirit, in strengthening the heart.

With every step forward, a whisper of the past,
Memories like stardust, forever to last.
The child within me, still dances in the rain,
While the adult I’ve become, learns to embrace the pain.

Growing up is a journey, not a destination,
A tapestry of love, loss, and revelation.
Through the ebb and flow, we find our way,
Blossoming beyond, with each new day.
