Children Need To Grow

children need to grow
catalysis into their
personality eventually

be their own men
or women
less like their own

mother father
if they are to reach their
full potential

children will learn
a lot very quickly
in years one to five

by about age
eighteen
all confident

young adults
will know
everything

then very soon
many with
half a brain 18

to 20 who knew
everything
at about 20 to 21

will learn
just how much
they did

not know
possibly be amazed
how much

their parents
suddenly know
about real life

not knowledge
but subtle
interacts of life
