Still a child
This morning, I started a bank account.
My first one for the first time.
I felt like a grown-up
ready to take on the world.
This evining I found my glasses
with a lens missing needing repair.
I felt so embarrassed
having to get them repaired again.
It seems like no matter how old I get
I always screw up somehow
and turn back into that six year old girl
visiting grandma and grampa for the first time.
I am seventeen years old now
grown up in more ways then one.
Going for my license, starting college
and looking for a summer job.
But in more ways I am still a child.
Full of spirit,  and experiencing things
for the first time still.
I feel as if some mistakes
I shouldn't be making.
I call my mom about the  lens in Texas
but all I get is the awnsering machine.
Grandma said don't worry
they can be replaced.
Even though I'm old and gray
I still break things and forget where I put them.
I felt better by this and realized,
no matter how old I get
I'm always be a child at heart.
I'll always live for hanging out with my friends, reading a good book underneath the tree and swimming  all day long.
As I go through life I'll be making mistakes,   looking like a fool and learning from them as I go along.
