Intimacy Vs Isolation

Erik Erikson, I swear! !
          Young adult 
But I don't want to grow up
          No no no

Take me back to Industry vs Inferiority 
          Around the ages 6-8
          My best years so far
I was very healthy in my developmental stage
     It was well achieved 
          Per the books

As I continue on these stages
I look at my watch and I see that I still have some years remaining 
It seems like I have some mess to clean up
          Slow on the playing 
          Clear on my directions 
As I achieve the greatest virtue of all, love!

Yeah, even Paul the epistler-apostle opined that all the other virtues in his possession amounted to dross if he still lacked the chiefest of them all - love. An on-spot piece. 7+!
