Growing Up
Written by: Danny Garcia, December of 2003

You were always there to tell me how,
You were always there to help me out,
While you were behind the wheel,
I had just learned the meaning of a dollar bill,
You grew up and I was left behind,
I wanted to be just like you,
but I was too busy digging rocks out of my shoe,
I was a pest and you were the best,
We fought all the time,
and when something broke I would whine.
I never could admit that you were right,
but you were still there with out a fight.
You were always there to squash the bugs,
you were there to help repair mom’s mugs,
you were there to throw me over the puddle,
when I tried to cry you kept me so very subtle.
For this, brother I owe you all,
growing up we had a ball.
