What a Day

By Gray Vision

Today's the day,
I turn thirteen
Today's the day,
I become a teen
All the fun and games,
Are coming to an end
I wish, 
I were twelve again. 


I peered through my window
At the darkening sky,
I peered at that bright never ending
Light of time,
The sun's going down,
The moon's setting in
I know ill never be the same again. 


The clock strikes twelve
I'm now thirteen,
Its twelve now
And I'm officially a teen
I wish, I really wish,
I were twelve again
But the day
Has come to an end,
Knowing,
I’ll never see twelve again. 


What a day, what a day
As the sun goes down,
What a day, what a day 
I can't help but frown,
The crickets are screeching
The frogs are croaking,
What a day, what a day,
I can’t help But frown.
