David Smith Poet Carpe Diem

Nineteen Going on Twenty

Time to still do plenty,
Mind again empty,
Ready for a new chapter,
To replace the old chatter,
With renewed laughter,.

Years to come plenty,
To embrace a new more Fun identity,
Despite an unhinged society.

For my troubled great great nephew. penned in 2025

He has come close to death through drink and silly behavior but seems stable at moment. He is lucky in halfway accommodation.
