Confidence lit up the sky
Our dreams lay before
Our hearts and minds free to soar
We saw it coming and we stood
It was all eternal
While we were the young

We looked forward with belief
Each of us the future in our blood
We were words and motion
We were the untouchables
The kick and the step
For we were the young

Now we are looking back
As we knew we never would
Counting regrets we'd never have
Uncounting the tears that past
The first day to last
Now We aren't the young

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

WalterPoe, You sound like my eldest son talking.Born in 1950.It is so hard to help people who have so many regrets.I do not ask questions as it is too late to erase memories totally.But we must give in and realize it happend when we were young and thoughtless.And it happens to many others.That does not appease him but I am sure he has not been as bad as he feels as he was always kind and gentle to every one.Animals,and people,Best to you, jo

Time and rhyme go hand in hand, whichever angle you look at poetry from, it reads differently each time, your poetry is really good, thank you for the read...Keith.

Optimism and conviction... eroded into regrets and confusion. Time leaves as many wrinkles in our dreams as it does in our flesh. Excellent write!

Feeling you....the young always feel invincible...immortal...untouchable...it's a long hard lesson...regrets I guess are inevitable...for everyone...
