I can remember when I was everthing young. Still in school,quite nieve I was much the fool. Hot hazy summer days,filled with bikes,baseball,and fishing, and at the heighth of my blaze Wanting to grow up before my time, not even realizing I would soon hit my prime. To long I sat, and dwelled upon, I blinked and like the summer's breeze it was gone. Now at 33 I can see things I can do no longer, not like in my youth, when I was so much stronger. 33 is not old by any means, yet I can still visualize those youthful scenes. Now when my son expresses his thoughts of growing up, and being a man, I say son hold on to your youth as long as you can. [This message has been edited by Richard 33 (edited 09-10-99).] |

wise counsel to your son. I am about to turn 21 and I can look back over the past two to three years and see how much time I have squandered. I think we all take youth for granted while we have it and then take our wisdom for granted which replaces our youth. Great poem and keep em comin. jFreak |

Thanks for the reply. It's good to know this poem is understood as it was intended to be. wisdom is a precious commodity the only trouble with it is that you usually have to get older to get it, but I wouldn't go back to being 18 agian, unless I could take my 33 year old brain with me. |

Very good Richard. Reminded me of that saying that youth is wasted on the young! ------------------ Denise |
