We Were Young

WE WERE YOUNG © Gabriel Magno 2019 We were young we were strong we could never do wrong we had visions of greatness and fame if we failed we had someone to blame we climbed mountains and dove in the seas we were tough and could do all with ease we made money and bought many toys all grown up we were men now not boys pain was something we all could endure through the perils of life we would sail it was meant that we are now mature never thought for a moment we’d fail then the years passed which taught us to face that we all must accept our own fate now we know we don’t win every race to go back in time now is too late we reached for the stars but time had expired we did all the things we thought were required young and strong we soon found would not last now we dream of those days that have passed
