Her notepad poems:When I Grow Up Poem
When I grow up
What do I want to be like, when I grow up
I will try to be strong, and not give up
Be proud of myself, hold my head up
I want to be brave, and not throw up
Not lose my temper, never blow up
Do what I am told, always turn up
Help other people, cheer them up
But now I'm old, and still not grown up
What do I want to be like, when I grow up
I will try to be strong, and not give up
Be proud of myself, hold my head up
I want to be brave, and not throw up
Not lose my temper, never blow up
Do what I am told, always turn up
Help other people, cheer them up
But now I'm old, and still not grown up
To Dean Thorpe one of the worst things that could ever happen would be becoming a sensible and responsible grown up, as you can see from this photo!!!
About This Poem
I am in my early forties now and I still don't feel like a "grown up", I am not sure if I ever will! I am just over 7 years away from being 50 years old and that scares the crap out of me! There are so many things I wanted to do in life, so many places I wanted to go, but due to my health problems I don't know if I will ever do it now.
