Be true . . .

If we were all
Young
Say twenty-two
Again

What fools
We’d be

I'd still be "idiot me"...even knowing what I know now!!  

What a thought, though... oh, but how great it would be to have that energy for just one more day and everything in place where it used to be...

succinct and accurate!

It would be grand though, to return, even for a very little while,
to before that point where 'life' gets away from us all.

applause for this penning!

Well, I was married at 21, but if I hadn't been and if I were 22 again, I think I would be exactly the same fool as I was then, and probably still am now - not in spite of knowing what I know now - but especially because of knowing what I know now.  It is only the fools who truly experience the magic . . .
