Goodbye Youth, Hello Age

Goodbye youth a beast uncouth, unwise, and full of lies. goodbye the eyes that see what the groin wants them to see, goodbye the ears that never really listened goodbye the heart that never really felt that could not thaw but now can melt. Goodbye the inability to really feel or know what's real and how to deal. hello to age the gentle sage, compassionate and thoughtful. hello to eyes that see the flaws but do not care hello to ears that truly hear hello to the sturdy heart that knows love and instead of running in fear, draws it near hello the giving hello to living.
