Young Love

Two young people did meet He handsome and full of lust She pretty and all so sweet She too trusting and he in heat The attraction was there for all to see In time came the I love you and you love me They spent many hours just have a good time Then one night they crossed the line Now they are married and number three There is a problem as you will soon see Back in the day when all had just begun They thought of nothing save sex and having fun No questions were asked and no answers given They built no foundation for the life they were lining The fires of lust in time burned out They had not an idea of what each other was about Time took it's toll and life became a strain Living soon became emptiness, loneliness and pain None of their ideas of the future were the same Somewhere in this time they became four Trapped in a life they wanted no more Now bitter and in pain they point at each other and blame For the mess they have created they should be ashamed As it happens all too often today It's the children who now will have to pay All because their parents let their bodies not their minds LEAD THE WAY

We get and spend our hormones far too early and the price we pay affects so many. You did a wonderful job moving through the emotions and bringing us to where it too often ends. Elizabeth

Too young dumb, too late smart and too old wise. Unfortunately if things were any different than they are now it would seriously damage or destroy the process of natural selection in the human animal. Huggs TLee
