When we are young,
We want to be older.

We want to be able to
Drive and shop,
Stay up late and go to the movies.

We want to go
Out with friends and do sports,
Go to parties and join clubs.

But when we are older
We find that
Life isn’t as the movies
Make it to be.

When we are older,
We want to be young.
