No Longer A Boy Poem by Adrian Murphy

15, no longer a boy, not quite a man.
Your life is becoming your own to run,
Your hopes, your dreams, not mine.
You face such a different world,
Problems I never went through,
Worries I can’t comprehend.
We live in two different worlds
At two different times.
You must be so confused,
Feel that no-one quite understands.
This rollercoaster of life brings thrills and spills:
Be patient, have courage and savour the ride.
Remember whether we are together or apart,
I’ll always be there to guide you on your path.
