Youth Must Be Lived

How true is the saying that youth is eternal and glorious only for some,
when hearts are free of worries, they know nothing of human pain;
fantasy suddenly begins and dusk that brings night delays to come...
and as wild and incredible it might seem, it always recalls home!
Youth must be lived, not wasted, but be reveled in happy refrain.

Some say, "Youth is wasted on the young," Andrew. There's a lot of truth in your inspiring words. Have a wonderful Fourth of July, my friend. Love, Carolyn
