Being Twenty

                                              My young self at twenty, bright eyes aglow,
                                        Chasing dreams to move uphill, where streams flow,
                                              Burning midnight candles, with books as guide,
                                                 Study twined with sports, a heart open wide,
                                                Helping souls in need, learning from the sage,
                                                  Respect for elders, treasured at each stage,
                                            Faith blended with hope, bold strokes on my page.
