Young Again

With unclosed lids, but yet I dream I'm lulled with distant memory A different place, my mind redeems I'm drifting back to yesterday I'm back in time, with younger face He's waiting by the gate With tender gladness we embrace Our new love lies in wait With spirits young, our lives ahead The future yet untold My dream awakes, I'm young inside When did we both grow old?

This was sweet. Yes, I wouldn't mind being young again but not today. Take me back to those less technology more imagination days. I'll bet Bill feels the same. The times were harder but there was something special there. God Bless. Vince

Beautifully written Carrie. With each year usually passing quicker than the one before, I have been amazed to find myself living in a year that is almost standing still. Relocating to a new country is like being a child again, with so many things to do and see, so much to learn, so many questions to ask...sorry, my mind was wandering there for a minute! Love, Nigel

This is a wonderful piece. I think everyone is still young at heart. Some my call it mind over matters. This is an excellent poem for contemplation. Great job! ~ Joseph

Yup, it's like one day you realize, yikes, I'm actually old! I guess we better get used to it, as it is not going to get any better, physically anyway. I love Brian's comment. Thank goodness for that! Love, Shar

Oh my, Ms. Carrie isn't this the truth !! LOL ... where indeed does time go and the mirror belies what I feel inside!! Takes strength and courage to grow old and thats one more thing they don't teach in school ... smile ... Thanks so much for your enjoyment of my Sky Artistry that I wrote looking out the window last night ... don't know where the words come from sometimes ... thanks for being at the Soup!!

the simple rhyme scheme belies the cleverness of this lovely eloquent poem. It captures the wistful feeling without sentimentality. I like your work Carrie, very much.

To be young again is so wonderful. I wish I could go back and rewrite my future. Love this write, it brought me back to many years ago.
