The Drug of Youth

The drug of youth is on my mind the wonder of what I may find if I could take a magic pill and cure this ever aging ill A potion for more carefree days of supervision runaways so worry free of money trees all planted by retirees Elixirs for those steamy nights when higher than untethered kites with Karma, not a girl I know not ready for my line to tow The drug of youth is on my mind but thankful still that I may find the memories yet to be made before the end of this parade

Our clock of youth moves too quick for my liking Mike and for some unknown reason goes faster when you hit forty lol. Tom
