Philosophy On Youth and Old Age

Philosophy On Youth And Old Age Life bears its pain with a howl, stubborn pride laying in tow Yet living is always for the now (Youthful pride sings out to play and show)! Looking back, regrets eats out so many hearts Vicious circle of good and bad repeats A thousand sworn restarts, Long sleepless nights in soiled sheets! Weeping at follies thought to be great, times remembered for nothing but vain pleasures Of sad meals happily ate, Sins glorified , thought to be great treasures! Morns promising love and joy with rising sun the day dragging along dead acts Darkness rising in glee not to be undone Lies enlarged and arrogantly claimed as facts! Seasons remembered as holidays on ice cool winds sailing a pleasure ship Too busy racing to ever be gentle and nice All one long self pleasuring trip! Life bears its pain with a howl, stubborn pride laying in tow Yet living is always for the now Old age and time brings one to finally know! Robert J. Lindley, 07- 22-2015 Note-- Time is a Light that shines to reveal the gross mistakes of we so wild That in our ever racing youthful zeal we act as stubborn and crazy child Light shines with its purposeful goal to teach us to be meek and mild Lessons blessedly given to stir our soul so our lives will not be so defiled....
