The difference

Adults are complicated
Kids are not
Adults have infections
Kids have snot

Adults have acquaintances

Kids have buddies

Adults have work

Kids have studies

Adults have responsibilities

Kids have chores

Adults have apnea

Kids just snore

Adults get emotional
Kids get whiny
Adults have a gluteus
Kids have hineys

You see, we're not that different
Adults just make it seem hard
We could use less stress
And more playing in the yard
Something gets lost
From age five to age thirty
We stop noticing butterflies, planes
and the little birdies
We stop being silly
And start getting real
We simply stop dreaming
Getting lost in the ordeal
It all seems so strange
And a little bit crazy
Those carefree days
Seem a little bit hazy

Perhaps all adults
should all make this pact:
Yes we have to grow up,
but we can always go back.
