GROWING UP

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

When I awakened, I made you cry…
Tears of joy…
I made you want me just by my gentle cry.

When I started to learn, I was a dreamer,
Too hyper to listen…
Too imaginative to sit still…
Yet I made you laugh and I bewitched you with only my laughing eyes.

When I grew to a child, I was your ballerina,
Dancing to the music playing in my own mind
And yet I was your typical jock,
Your own little tomboy.

When I became a young woman, the clown had died,
Leaving only the words of a mime in its place
Shy and quiet…
I made you love me with my soothing sigh.

When I changed into a butterfly, I became a dancer
Dancing to silence…
Dancing to laughter…
Dancing to tears….
