Notes About The Poem

For Oscar On His 15th Birthday

Juvenescence shines like the sun’s slow climb
  and I see a bird not yet flown its cage,
I hear the footsteps in the march of time -
  a journey of self, a coming of age!
Thus you Peter Pan on wings of an elf,
  who seeks to fly between far and never,
must now say goodbye to your childish self
  and dreams of eternal youth forever.
So fly dear boy, fly and never look back
  and richly love the heart and feel the soul -
save close your nobilities lest you lack
  for all that you do bears a living toll.
And turn your mind from temptation unsought
with all care and profundity of thought.
