Not A Child Anymore

When we were young we acted like children Many times with false promises and lies, When we were in our youth we were a child So, we always wore a different disguise. Of course we always did what children do And of course we had no reasoning or even a plan, We always did without any thoughts or a slight clue Then we grew up, and we became woman and man. An adult always honors all of their commitments And a child always forgets or seldom does, A child always and only thinks, "What about me! " But, an adult always thinks about, "you" and "us". A child always points their finger and blames others An adult though always accepts their responsibilities, While children always run back to their mothers Whereas an adult never seeks those liabilities. A child always lives off of someone else To always receive and get them what they got, And an adult lives to always help someone else What they own is from the sweat and pain that they sought. A child relies on themselves and always on family Where an adult though never seeks that facade, A child never give thanks or gives an apology But, an adult always relies and gives their trust in God.
