All Good Things
“The biggest lie about getting older is that excitement and
growth end with youth”. MO
Defiant by design, brazen Youth glides,
Striding beneath the banner ‘come what may’;
Flirting with fickle winds, taming the tides,
They pinky promise that they’re here to stay.
Allured along by a wondering eye,
Young naive charm trumps wisdom’s tested truth;
Sworn on a twinkling diamond star up high,
Dreams dance in rainbow palette over Youth.
Growing up fast - the poignant part indeed,
And eager Youth can’t pause the ticking pace.
Upon that sweeping hand it swaps its lead
For the kind, noble arms of wisdom’s grace.
