- It Is Never Too Late -

Being Young
What is "young"......do what you want
regardless of what others think .....
Young....."wise", inexperienced and a lot to learn
Not sure or absolutely certain
No duties and no considerations to take,
just think of the day
Free as a bird, spread their wings and fly where you want


Flower Power
Make Love Not War
Peace & Love


Spending the day with good friends, sleeping under the stars
Not sure or absolutely certain
Today`s young people are not so simple, 
there are liabilities - they have to go to schools
to keep up with modern society
School, work, homework and have time to social gatherings
They are not free as a birds, they can not fly where they want


Flower Power
Make Love Not War
Peace & Love


For those who are young at age
Being young, young in body and soul 
It`s never too late.....Fly Where You Want.....Fly...
Have a wonderful day


Flower Power
Make Love Not War
Peace & Love

Anne Lise, this takes me back to those youthful days of yore, it seems not so long ago when I dreamed of traveling to Greece, and Rome, I wanted to travel the world and see all the things that I had read about but little did I know back then that all I ever need for real was to look into the eyes of the man I love, because he is the world, cheri

I was just a little to young to participate in the make love not war era. I did however experience the vibe and music of that time while I fantasized about how great it would be when I grew up. Enjoyed your descriptions and wish I had been born about 6 years earlier.

In '93, I danced with a lady with this same outlook at Check Point Charlie's in Stavanger. She had a fantastic outlook on life. I liked this one.

I loved your poem.. If I could I would be a bird so I could fly free and go where I want to go. fears are what hold you back.. Curiosity is what sets you free. cory

So true... Youth, I think is a matter of perspective. I have students who feel very much older than I do. My father was definitely very young at heart, having lived a war, fought in it, was exiled. A generation of relatively poor people, who were starving and singing at the same time, acting, painting, living their youth that was stolen from them after they had fought to set their country free. youth, love and peace abide in the heart. I liked your poem very much Archontoula

Yes this was my era and I think we were more free than younger folks are nowadays. Times change but I don't think for the better although my kids would not agree. My oldest son and I debate the pros and cons of past and present. Love this poem a true gem. love phyl Away on holidays this week -leave tomorrow-have a nice week.

It really is a state of mind. You can be young forever, age with grace, and still be enchanted like a child. There's no compelling reason not to. Sooo good

Enjoyed reading your poem, Anne Lise... sometimes I wish I could go back but then again, I'm not so sure I really want to. This generation moves so fast...makes me wonder if they know something that we don't!? Have a great week! Love, Annalise
