An Ode to Childhood

Now I am a teen

Thirteen years old

Childhood has been left behind

My story has been told

I don't have too much time left

I think about it every night

So let me share my stories

My sorrow and my strive

I like to write these poems

To have jokes and make fun

But now

My childhood is done

I can still do most things

But usually, I supervise

It is my little siblings turn

For childhood and to thrive
