They say I'm young
They say I don't know
That I haven't experienced enough...
For such profound feelings to flow
No matter whay "they" might think
And tell me every day,
I'll keep on living, experiencing,
For that's the only way to grow,
Until I'm very old.
Then,
They can't say I'm young
Or that I don't know
Because by then,
I guess I'll have shown them
That it just takes time
To finally just be able to know.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

Seems to me you "know" more than most your age.

Wonderful poem Joy.

There're many times I wish I knew,
Or wish I even had a clue;
But today I guess that I found out
There's a lot of things I know about!

Great poem, Joy!!!!

take care, janet marie

...found your heart-then lost your lover...licked your wounds then run for cover...
take your time...there will be another...
and dont make the same mistake twice...
unless you can pay the price...

Great poem, Joy. I've often thought about this.

With age comes wisdom, but you seem to have achieved this early.

Very lovely, Joy! Yes, age does bring wisdom, as well as wrinkles...hehehe
