Little girl,
her eyes held the world
and everyone just adored her,
her mind was clear
and with every year,
she grew and grew and grew.
Slow down little girl,
don't grow up too soon
it's not as fun as it seems,
be a child
while you still can,
and enjoy the life you lead.
Slow down little girl,
trust me on this
you don't want to grow up too soon,
there are harsh realities
to everyday things,
that you thought were just dreams.
Little girl,
whose eyes once held the world
slowly started to dim,
as every year went by,
she started to see,
why she was always told
to slow down,
Because now the only voices heard
are the ones whispering,
"Welcome to reality."
