As I Aged With A Growing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've doubled up on my love for life.
I learned games to play and I've paid that price.
But those nights and my youthful days grew colder.

And as I aged with a growing,
Some things I collected along the way...
I had to throw away with a knowing,
It was I who chose to live my life.
And I began to choose what was right for me.

I've doubled up on my love for life.
With a choice to let go and enjoy the ride.
Regardless who debated over the choices that I make.
No one knows what it takes for me to live.
With a doing it as if I live obstacle free.
