Youth

When the earth seem new
with days going by slowly
while the night caressed
morning bring in more life

Was that so long ago
seems like yesterday
as my grey hair is pulled back
my brown eyes are wiser

Yet through a child's eyes still
I feel life journeys give strength
nothing really changes except ones body
as the years flip by like pancakes

With each newborn I remember
when I too was so young
the happiness was for free
when sparkling eyes
don't see...
