In my life, I was short, and I was small,
But I’ve since become rather large, and tall.
And so, many concepts that I had known
With me, they have become shrunken, or grown.
Vivid memories of yesterdays past;
It seems today that they no longer last.
Or worries of my succeeding in life:
When I was a child, I knew not such strife.
Only when trying to leave my abyss
Will I yet see that ignorance is bliss.
Smaller becomes bigger, big begets small,
All this has happened, I’ve just gotten tall.
This is such a lovely poem. Sometimes we feel like nothing has changed, and yet. So much has.
