Urban Sonnet - From Youth To Heaven
FROM YOUTH TO HEAVEN
~~~~~~~~~~~~
O the joys of youth, learning natures ways.
My desire, become more self-sufficient!
Natures larder, delights fill all its trays.
Each day I become much more proficient.
With learning, becoming more diligent.
Find many things in life belligerent
Why is life all so confrontational?
With nature, it's all about surviving.
With some, it is all institutional,
Purposely there has to be contriving.
Nature knows not a thing about lying.
The belligerent oft causing dying
I am now self-sufficient, loving life!
Nature now my allotment, my gardens,
where love grows without strife, found me a wife.
We work the garden, no beg your pardons.
Growing happiness, no need for wardens.
As we grow old our love, nature, hardens.
Once rural, old age moves us to urban
To a nice warm city, natures Heaven
