Growing Pains

Here’s to the kids who are different ;

The kids who don’t always get A’s

The kids who have ears

Twice the size of their

Peer’s, or noses that go

On for days.

Here’s to the kids who

Are different, the

Kids who are just

Out of steps,

The kids they all

Tease, who have

Cuts on their knees

And whose sneakers

Are constantly wet.

Here’s to the kids with a mischievous streak,

For when they have grown, as history has shown,

It’s their difference that makes

them unique
