...And Now That I Am Older! ! Poem by Austyne Thomas

when i was a child,
i tot as a child
but now am a grown man,
i see things only we can,
somethings are not soo sweet.
sometimes life may seem so bleak
but in all of this i think
ald survive the toughest rink.
I dream of the future now,
and let go of the past,
cuz am no more a child
and life has many a task,
i forgive and i forget,
and i cancel all my debts,
i try to live up strong,
and reject whatso seems wrong,
although i still have fears,
but they are not of closets,
i fear i have no time
to achieve all in this short while.
I am now a bigger boy,
in size and in price,
i tend to have it all,
no matter what the price.
...and now that i am older,
i can do it*winks*
am a lot bolder
