Folly of Youth
Immortal we seemed in fleeting youth
When worry played no part in life
Failing to see the absolute truth
We live and love on throw of the dice.
Youthful salad days, wild oats sown
Age was just ephemeral thought
Distant future was great unknown
Here and now constantly sought.
Twilight years insidious and slow
Relentless in their pursuit of youth
Have me at their mercy now
It's time to face maturity's truth.
