Young Eyes

I once knew your point of view. Innocent and fresh. Sweet as the mourning dew. Time teaches lessons sometimes harder than they should be. Sad as the old lonley man. Who watches the young lovers so very foolish and free. Like the seasons of spring and summer. Along with foolish lies. I wish you could stay eternal sweet young eyes. Never to feel the pain or know the cold. To experience the bitterness of time. Or the emptyness of growing old. But with days slowly passing even the greatest passion dies. I wish you never to know the truth. And remain forever my sweet young eyes.

This is somewhat sad. Growing old is not for sissies for sure. My mother and father use to look at youth being in love and seem to get joy from the scene. I watched my parents in their old age observe a young couple and my parents seemed to be moved by their actions and it brought out their love for each other more. Keep writing. Sara
