It Seems So Far Away Poem by Audrey Heller

When you start out in life, you can't
wait to be a little bit older, as it
seems so far away. Then before
you know it, your wish is granted,
you're finally grown up and on your
way! At that moment you come to
realize, how fast time has flown, no
longer are you the person, you used
to be. Now, you have to start facing,
a lot of responsibility! You begin to
wonder, why were you in such a hurry?
Everything, was good at home, now,
you have your share of worry. To all
of you, who can't wait to grow up fast
enough, this I have to say. Enjoy your
youth, as much as you can, for all too
soon, it's taken away!
