For It Shall Soon Be Gone

 

One day
Little one,
you'll be grown up.

You say you want to.

Dear sister,
listen, please.
You'll have
responsibilities
You won't be able to handle it with ease.

You say you want to.

Why,
Dear sister,
should you play like
you
are
all
grown up?
right now?
When you are not.

You say you want to.

Savor it while you can little one,

for it shall soon be gone.
