Where has youth fled

  A child asks ‘Why?’
     An old man cries
  Where has youth fled

  Lacking curiosity
    ~ his child is dead

A great write, Gershon. We must always keep our inner child free to question...what if?

We need to spur our curiosity into new places, keep that child sharp! Blessings!

Righto, Kim. Without our child, the arteries of our spirit quickly die...
