Little one why don't you grow up ?

You asked all those questions
That never are answered
Of wonder and awe about the world around you .
Little one why don't you grow up ?
You talk to others , telling your feelings
You don't understand that
You must keep these feelings to yourself
So other's can't hurt you .
Little one why don't you grow up ?
You love the woods
And cry when something dies
Everything dies eventually
You're alive that's all that matters
Little one why don;t you grow up ?
You are too sensitive
Always giving to people
When you should grab all you can get
Before someone takes it first
Little one why don't you grow up ?
