These Years

verse 1
Some little girls
like quiet games.
Some little girls
play school.
Some little girls
stay neat and clean
and follow every rule.

verse 2
Some little girls
are loud and yell.
Some little girls
play rough.
Some little girls
pretend to fly
because swinging
is not enough.

chorus
Then little girls
become grown up girls
Moving on to complexity,
But every grown up girl
misses her younger years,
The less complicated times,
and being free.

verse 3
Some grown up girls
like going out,
Some grown up girls
like to nest.
Some grown up girls
focus on their careers
climbing ladders and invest.

chorus
Then grown up girls
become mid-life girls
moving on to caring less.
But all the mid-life girls
Long for their grown up self
A special time they all confess.

bridge
So ladies don’t neglect these years
You might move forward, but can’t go back.
Make memories that will age with you,
So all those good times….
You can unpack.
