The lost puppy in a giant crowd

Finding its way through it

Meeting new people along the way, and losing the old

Making a new check point like in a video game

It can’t restart but it can level up

As everyday passes new skills are learned that can be used for even harder levels. 

The little girl that’s full of laughter and joy

As the years pass the laughter slowly dies

The joy turns to anxiety 

The way life is changes so fast she can barely catch her breath

She blinks her eyes and she's walking the stage at her high school graduation

She’s off at college now, struggling to get by

She misses the little girl she once was

Stop and smell the roses they say

Take your time and appreciate the little things before they’re all gone

But make sure to have time for yourself 

How can you take time for yourself when your schedule is packed full of pleasing everyone else

FIgure it out kiddo, you're a big girl

The things I would do to be a kid again

You’re a mess

A beautiful mess

No need to stress 

Remember who you are

Keep your head up high and enjoy your time here

When the clouds take over, there's no room for a makeover

When the rain falls, is when death calls

When the snow is falling, Christmas is calling

When the wind is blowing, no birds are crowing

When the sun is high and bright, there’s no time for fears of heights

When the leaves turn colors, the world gets duller

When the night falls, a new day crawls
