Sonnet 1

Seeing years past brings question about what might be, We wonder, how will this play over - How will this decision affect me? Wondering if you will travel to places yonder - Seeing and doing things that are beyond the simple mind's capabilities. Maybe you will accomplish inspiring things, Perhaps you will live a life void of all responsibility. When young, it is easy to imagine that no harm may come upon you, That your youthfulness will never fade, But when you are in the long-awaited destiny, You will wish for those times, for they seem to be ages away. You will remember the times when you looked forward to life so zestily, So when you're young, appreciate the good times while you can So when you are old and grey you can sit back and relive life from where it began.
