Hi, hell
Hello from a smile I hid
Or didn't, the lie of a bravado?
That I claim like the sense to live
You smile to...
But I've only seen it in my imagination
Hell's stink, and the season of response in loves who
To admit an apology is mine, for another purposes silence
Shade me from a severity
Stoic and furious story's, to collect as a person was
Simple rational, to have a babe's vanity
Privilege before passion, passion before peace, peace before purpose
How did this all happen?
Children on the verge of losing patience, do know a prayer was...
Find out, curses of persuasion, the fate of youth is to come in the hands of laughter
With the integrity of more, and the seed of promises, uncertain of a future cause...
Young deer year into play in winter's whiteness
Take courage and,
Turn blind eyes,
Enjoy your youthfulness.
Do not tell how life robbed you
In your old days.
Life abounds with the young,
But, old age is full of repentance,
Resentments and regrets.
Grow out of your shells and,
Seize the woman of your dream,
Go wild and,
Leave the regrets for later years.
The somersault and overswing, the trampoline and horse,
while knees and calves still had their spring
and power in legs to play the game,
and strength to run their course.
I go there in my mind instead, though back and bones now ache,
and hips take time to floor my feet and meet the day from bed.
I run, I dance, I score a try. I thrill to knock the bales,
and will the ball to net.
I swim, I dive and better still, is freedom now to fly.
The day will come when greater ease allows me from this stall.
As spirit body please, with no restraining pain or fall,
end whistle of this mortal game is not my boundary wall.
Youthfulness is not about being young or old
It's about enthusiasm
When enthusiasm fades, pessimism begins
As true Christian our hope keeps up our enthusiasm and our youth
