Growing Up
A. A. Milne
1882 to 1956
I've got shoes with grown up laces,
I've got knickers and a pair of braces,
I'm all ready to run some races.
Who's coming out with me?
I've got a nice new pair of braces,
I've got shoes with new brown laces
I know wonderful paddly places.
Who's coming out with me?
Every morning my new grace is,
"Thank you, God, for my nice braces
I can tie my new brown laces."
Who's coming out with me?
A. A. Milne's Growing Up
I am busy working to bring A. A. Milne's "Growing Up" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about A. A. Milne's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Growing Up" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
