I Refuse To Grow Up by Terrie*

I refuse to grow up
I enjoy being me
I don't want society
to tell me how to act

I want to:
be who I am
scream as loud as I can

I want to;
rollerskate and fall on my bum
be able to ride in a merry go round
swing on a swing ,
hit a tether ball as hard as I can
jump rope with the kids next door

I really don't care how foolish I look
I just want to be able to do what I still can

and I really don't care if people stare my way
for i will give them a smile in return

I want to:
shoot some baskets with my son
throw him a few hard balls

just to hear him say "mom you throw like a girl"

I want to;
do all sorts of stuff while I am still me
as I breath and am alive
ride on a harley with the man that I love
walk far every day while my legs can still carry me around
sit and smoke an expensive cigar with the man that I love so he can say
"hon you look ridiculous but sexy with that in your mouth"
oh God
"I love my man"

I want to:
make love on a mountain top so high
and shout "I love you "to hear the echo come back
make love on the beach under a full lovers moon
have an affair with the man that I love
make love until the sun comes up
make love in the rain
your thinking "oh my God that woman is insane"

belive me I'm not
if I close my eyes to just one day
I will miss an awful lot

i want to lay next to my man
hold and hug him so tight while my arms can still hold tight
I want to love while I can still feel with my heart
skinny dip while I am able to feel sensual and hot..
travel while I can still see with my eyes
run away with the man that I love
and spend my time with him making endless love
camp and star gaze like I once did
make love to my babe' before my body wears out...
live before I die...
I want to get freaky and blow a fuse
make someone laugh until tears run down
make love to a heart just by holding their hand
make love to a soul while I look into their eyes
make love, with just a kiss

I refuse to grow up.
i can hear them say
"what ever happened to the shy little thing"
i reply
i came out of my shell to live life to it's fullest
i thank the man that woke my heart up from it's slumber

I want to share with the world the love that I have for my man..
be able to shout it out up to the sky and hear it echo around the universe
cry and cry and cry for no reason at all..
even though I refuse to grow up...

I want to continue to wake up every morning
and fall asleep every night in your arms letting you know
that I love and appreciate you every second in my life..

awww
I know what you mean. But if God's will be done, when I turn 89, I hope to still have that energy when I was 16 and so forth. I'll be an old woman trying to rejuvenate, refresh, and restart youthful years all over again! Darn! This was something humorous! I don't even feel my age; I feel much younger. Hint, hint: Because I act it. LOL! Great one Terrie!

Smiley face,
Meri
