Days of Youth

Youth is a wonderland of joy and bliss Filled with vibrancy, picture-perfect days. Roses, blue skies, love's first trembling kiss Winding hesitantly toward grown-up ways. Time is a prankster that plays with our will Enchants us to think golden days will last Twists our psyches, sings the same tune until we believe its message: Youth will not pass. I laugh now, thinking of those carefree days. we couldn't see hours slipping from time instead, we thought nothing could bar our ways No thought of mountains we might have to climb. The hours and days and years hurry by While we ponder days we'd like to amend. We'd like time back to again give a try reading to children with time for a friend. Enjoy youth's energetic brief bright span Fitting joy and heartache into each mile. Capture youth's radiance into life's plan then wish youth fondest farewell with a smile.
