Coming Of Age

By HeadpatSlut

Coming Of Age



Once Upon a Summer's Night-
Orion's Sign was in the sky-
A new born child's birth was nigh-
My life had seen first Light.

Eighteen years have passed since then-
I've seen some good and bad-
I've taken, Given, lost, and had-
My life now starts again.

Childhood was slow in leaving-
Though looking back it seems to fast-
It dissappeared, it couln't last-
Myself I'm not decieving.

Like a Pheonix in the Fire-
Or a Fairy from the trees-
No longer left in sheltered ease-
Through struggle now, I can aspire.

New hallenges ahead await-
A world for the taking-
The greatest feat is never breaking-
I'll master my own fate.

A long and winding road ahead-
No way to know what lies there-
I will not end up going no where-
A True Path I shall lead instead.

I'll make my way and earn my wage-
I shall survive the trial-
Honored Code shall be my style-
Because at last, I've come of Age.
