Growing up

I have no wisdom

I have no words

I only have

All this hurt

Nothing to give

Though I can take

your pain from you

But more would await

So I will not

For if I take now

You won't be prepared

For the pain all around

I must wait patient

This hurts me too

But your future

Is up to you

So fly little bird

Leave the nest

All I can do

Is hope for the best.
