MY DAYS OF ADOLESCENCE...
Different feelings and emotions coalescence,
Treading from childhood into adulthood,
Made me conscious of my womanhood.
I looked at the mirror in amazement and surprise,
As everyday new day my body metamorphosed,
New growths, newer curves,
Everyday my conscious eyes observed.
The boys looked at me differently ,
More retrained were they, not normally friendly,
Loved the new found attention,
The new signs of budding attractions.
Life appeared to be more adventurous,
Filling me up with a beautiful tenderness,
My slate was full of new questions,
Finding answers to them was my new obsession.
The physical and psychological changes made me more alert
Of happenings , people, behaviours decent and indecent,
Parents and my teachers, my mentors became my friends,
Helping me understand it all, change and make timely amends.
However the days were, they are still unforgettable,
Beautiful, wondrous and incredible,
They were the foundations on which my today was built,
Created me the woman today, I still treasure those days as a valuable gift.
