{Fifteen}

Years from today
I'll tell my daughters and sons
About the life that I lived
When I was so young

Years from today
I'll laugh and I'll speak
About the life that I lived
When I was fifteen

Everything that's normal now
Will be a story to them
Maybe they'll gather round
To hear of me and my crazy friends

So many lessons learned
In the fifteenth year
So many bursts of joy
So many bittersweet tears

This will be history
The days will have passed
I will look back and say
"I felt it going too fast."

There's always so much
I love to remember
With every year of my life
September to September

It's hard to express
Just what it means
But this is the last
The last day I'm fifteen
