Analysis of Coming of Age!
Evans E Bradley 1949 (Washington, DC)
When I was younger so full of life,
I never gave a thought of having a wife,
But upon entering into the age of a teen,
The young girls left me confused in my jeans,
As a young adult, I saw the Ladies clearer,
And found it was fun to have Sex and some Beer,
Soon after I found marriage was very serious too,
If you want to be happy there are things you must do,
I walked the straight line twice and failed,
It wasn’t until after the third time that I prevailed,
Now as I approach the twilight years of my time,
I yearn for the youth that is no longer mine,
Seeing each day now as a blessed new life page,
I must learn to enjoy my new Coming of Age!
