Passages

childhood 
tomorrow is forever in coming
if it ever comes at all
boy! tomorrow is a million miles
away, tomorrow is
my birthday
youth
it’s coming soon that day
just you wait and then
you’ll see
21 and I’ll be free, free
to go my way on my
21^st birthday
maturity
where did all the days go and
why
does the time seem to fly
seems I’d just begun
this one
and here it is again
today’s the day
my birthday…
