The Spirit of Youth

Nothing like the spirit of youth
  Determined to get at the truth
So headstrong to right every wrong
  Into the world they charge headlong

This is me right here, haha! My inner youth is a force to reckon with.

I enjoy the spirit of my own youth; she dances around inside all the time, urging me to get a younger face.

Ha, ha! I can just picture that spirit stirring in you. Mine is pretty much stirred out. I enjoy seeing today's youth 'going for it!' :) gw

They do that even when there is no real wrong..they must have a cause...b’cause, that’s why. I like this!

Yeah, I guess there are those teens who will have 'a cause' against all odds... I still admire their spirit. Wish I could get rid of a chunk of my experience... Though they say that a pessimist is just an optimist with experience. :) Gershon
