When I grow up By Dean Thorpe.

What do I want to be like, when I grow up
I will try to be strong, and not give up
Be proud of myself, hold my head up
I want to be brave, and not throw up
Not lose my temper, never blow up
Do what I am told, always turn up
Help other people, cheer them up
But now I'm old, and still not grown up

I am in my mid thirties now and I still don't feel like a "grown up", I am not sure if I ever will! I am two thirds of my way to being 50 years old and that scares the crap out of me! There are so many things I wanted to do in life, so many places I wanted to go, but due to my health problems I don't know if I will ever do it now.
