She said to me

don’t grow too fast
Or you’ll break against
Like an elephant resting on a fence

She said to me

You’re only 15
You have a life to live
Yet you’ve given more then your right to give

She said to me

You’re in a rough spot
And it’s really no fair
But you’re no small life, yes I really do care

She said to me

You are loved
Through thick and thin
I’ll be there to wipe you’re chin or help you win

She said to me

So don’t grow up too fast
Try smiling for a while
Maybe... just maybe... it will help you in that extra mile
