We grew up

From erasers to razors
From sharpeners to scrapers.
From breaking toys to breaking rules
To universities from schools.
Life is all summed up
We never realized when we grew up.

From holding hands to holding emotions
From test marks to job promotions.
From quarrels to finding peace
From pocket money to paying fees.
Life is all summed up
We never realized when we grew up.

From being a child to having a child
From books piled to responsibilities piled.
From being stubborn to getting adjusted
From being silly to getting frustrated.
Life is all summed up
We never realized when we grew up.

From backbenchers to managers
From neighbours to complete strangers.
From junk to healthy food
From empathy to getting rude.
Life is all summed up
We never realized when we grew up.

From watching dramas to creating dramas
From crying on lil things to handling traumas.
From many friends to real ones
That’s the way life runs.
Life is all summed up
We never realized when we grew up.

And now that we have already grown
From the seeds of wisdom,years back sown.
We realize now that events flow
And how life goes just to and fro.
But we don’t need to worry so
As age is just a number though.
