There was a time I took it in,
the knowledge that was given.
I was to be seen and not heard,
unless I was spoken too.
So quiet and unspoken,
I began to be observant,
to little things of words and simple body movements.
My mind was open to it all,
the understanding of it
was what I didn't know.
how I took the information in
may be different than another
what I learned back then
Isn't the same I think of now.
as times have changed
experiences that ive had.
The knowledge I had back then
grew into so much more
a simple understanding of so much more than what I thought
as time goes by I fear a little less
I grow a little wiser
this being inside of me
waiting to come through
as life continues I will learn
exactly what im made of
I'll  continue to do my best to learn and grow to something more
the knowledge that ive recieved since 1984 will carry on with me to the year I say good bye my name may never be famous or known for years to pass
I know I will become something more than ever planned before.
