Fragile beats the heart of youth A fear may age the primal truth And in advance the man may wane Afraid of frailty, afraid of pain Fondness of the former self A tear to give in shadow stealth And mourn the loss of hair and vigor Afraid that age will rob and rigor Fragile beats the heart of man An aging earlier than the plan And swallowed hard appointment met Afraid are all their sun will set Copyright Kkh 5/8/02 |

Fragile beats the heart of man An aging earlier than the plan I know this challenge phrase and have mostly avoided it (no offense k, it's personal...lol) but I read this and this I could relate to. Very well done. |

Hello My Friends: The nice part of thinking of this in advance is that youth resides within the heart, and innocence is a frame of mind not an age. Love to All. ThisDiamond |
