Enjoy

Enjoy being young, the downward rush of seeming omnipotence; too soon the flow, inevitably will slow, and then, the upstream paddle – enjoy being moist and juiced... before the creak and the rattle – although youth may seem an unfair battle at times, with challenges insurmountable, often one pleading for a divine arbiter, old-age reveals the true tensile of character – and the worth of a trying journey before the welcoming gurney –

Nobody leaves this earth Healthy:) Thank you, Mystic. I'm always grateful. I am really doing fine for my age, a little slower to be safe -- but few exceptions. Blessings my friend!

It is a shame that no one young will realize this truth until they begin to feel age creeping up on them. I am always relating this to my granddaughter. I want her to appreciate her knees and not injure them because years later she will feel it. She injured her foot and had to limp around and I think she got it! Lol Your poem gives excellent advice Joe. Your ending is classic! Into my faves! Blessings xxoo
