To Fly Again

O, that I could fly again
  on winged feet of youth
The feats that I would dare again
  dangerous, in truth...

As I pause to sigh agin
  memories dance before my eyes
maidens fair, adventure stirring
  whispers vanished, so alluring

That last stanza reminded me of being 19.

Gershon, Happy Mother's Day Sunday, though perhaps bittersweet for some. Doling out quotes today, here's yours: “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
