Not Old Enough

His wrinkles on face,
A crack on his tooth
He remembers too well
The glimpse of his youth

The fiery passion
His sweltering desires
He’s a scout leader
Everyone admires…

He’s a disciplinarian
Few don’t understand
But it all makes sense
Accord to his plans

His young dreams
I see as sun rises
But will he remember
The smiles on our faces?
