Cast a mold of life and love
The hopes and dreams you’re thinking of
A world so big for one so small
The sky, the trees, a big red ball

Soon to crawl, and then to walk
Soon to dream, and then to talk
I have a name, I know I’m me
I taste, I feel, I hear, and see

I wrote my name at school today
I’m learning games the kids all play
I rode my bike with just two wheels
I fell and know how bad it feels

The tests to pass to graduate
The job for which I could not wait
He’s all grown up I hear them say
It seems like only yesterday

About the Inspirational Poem Growing Up

Growing up is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about a boy growing up from the time of his birth to getting his first job.

Inspirational Poetry Books

Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products

While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
