Eyes closed
Loud cries
Soft skin
Brand new baby, here I lie

Tiny feet
I walk
Big mouth
I talk


Little dresses
Pink and Blue
Small coughs
One-day flu


Plays start
Song after song
Parts grow
Lines get long


Soccer and softball
They get fierce
Rings and bracelets
Ears pierce


Plane rides
Road trips
Make-up starts
Health and Beauty tips


Boys come and they go
Long e-mails I love to send
Old friendships
I try to mend


A new school
Comes with new teachers
A brand new car
With brand new features


Phone calls grow long
Chatting with friends
School is boring
It never ends


Puberty starts
I mature
I start to think
Of my near future

As travel
Through the years
I have so much to learn
