you're growing every day, my love
growing in your sleep
wish time would stretch along with you
babies just don't keep 
you'll notice, love, this growth can be
a bit of ebb and flow
a loop de loop, or uphill climb
so many ways to grow
you will grow big, of that i'm sure
you will grow taller too
your hands will grow to hold your dreams
feet too, to carry you
sometimes you'll grow in a straight line
or wiggle right along
you'll feel you've mastered growth and then 
grow more, finding you're wrong
you'll grow to reach what you desire
you'll grow your insides too
expand your mind, enlarge your heart
you're growing into you
later, if growth gets messy, love
challenges what you know
trust yourself, you've got this
there's no wrong ways to grow.
