Thirty Candles

Youth is raw and naked Bare white teeth gnarling Into the flesh through the bones of life Laughing the mocking laughter of the undefeated Knowing all Proud is a peacock in full color Hard, strong, tall and beautiful Youth is stubborn Youth is glory Youth is fleeting Thirty candles on a birthday cake Welcome to life and living Welcome first grey hair
