The Glory of Being Young

Oh, carry me down to our beloved riverside.
Let's lay on the sweet grass and just abide.
To soak up the sun, through our tender young skin.
And think of the phenomenal world we live in.

~Yet, aging stalks in silence and will take our youth away.~

Let's dream of our lightness of being in this now.
Dream about out our future family and home, anyhow.
In a city, small, with winding-treed streets.
And the cherished patter of little feet!

~Yet, aging stalks in silence and will take our youth away.~

In this glorious moment exists silken happiness and bliss.
You know, my deepest love, the joy you bring with a fervent kiss.
The monarch butterflies flap their wings in such joy.
Seeing the great happiness of a girl and her boy.

~Yet aging stalks in silence and will take our youth away.

I love this engagement ring, see its colors dance in the sun.
Our life together will be lovely, I already see it done.
Children we will have, how about four?
Oh, you're so silly, you want more?

~Yet~aging stalks in silence and takes our youth away!~

Age certainly does creep up fast, blink of an eye and ten years have passed before you know it, love the romance in your poem, Emilia : ) x

Hi Emilia, I liked the romance in the poem too.))) Aging happens fast but it brings with it an appreciation for others and life itself. Yes, I do remember the riverside as if it were happening now. Thanks for being supportive. Hugs, Pangie xx
