I used to be a seed
But now I am a tree

Jenesis A. C.

I used to be slow
But now I am fast
I used to be a gear
But now I am a robot
I used to be smart
But now I am smarter
I used to be funny
But now I’m funnier
I used to be a baby
But now I am a big girl
I used to be a baby dog
But now I am a big dog

I Used To But Now by Melissa R.

I used to be a baby bird
But now I am a big bird
I used to be a student
But now I am a teacher
I used to be a little rainbow
But now I am a big rainbow
I used to be a waterbottle
But now I am a lunchbox
I used to be a watermelon
But now I am an orange
I used to be the moon
But now I am the sun

But now I am a computer
