Young and Alive

The time when I felt so young and alive Each day promised myriads of adventures, I did not need much money to survive The time when I felt so young and alive, It didn’t take much effort to grow or thrive Youth was completed by exciting ventures, Time was when I felt so young and alive Each day promised myriads of adventures.

These were the days my friend; we thought they would never end. "Youth was completed by exciting ventures,"

Now, I have to pay for someone to assist me in walking down the front steps! (Not really... at least, not yet). :) gw

Oh, I don't want to hear you talk like that, but, I do hold on to anything I can touch when going down my front steps already!

When you are young and alive, you are eager and able to seek and take any opportunities that present themselves to you; when you are old and alive, you face other challenges and adventures. Life is one big adventure. Great Triolet, Milt

Thanks so much, Shirley. Yes, I have found this to be so.
