Growing Up Poem by Renuka Gunasakaran

Growing Up



Today I'm here,
Kneeling down staring into the pond
I see a blurred reflection of mine
A stone toss and he flies away
Short enough I couldn’t admire.

Tomorrow I will come,
Kneeling down staring into the pond
I will see the clear me
A stone toss yet he will stay
Long enough I could live.

Of the more tomorrows to arrive
As the new me I relive
The yesterday full of asperities
