Youth Vs, Old Age

Now the voices of youth start to scream Because old age is finally seen. You have nineteen years of youth But from twenty on, it's all gone. You may get a few more years to get your college degree Then it's work and raising a family. You'll have more old years than you'll have young And you'll work till your life on earth is done. When you look at a older person, look at the way It's going to be, when the younger generation Reaches puberty, and you are the old ones That they see. Your friends that you once knew in school Are going through the same thing, but acting Like a fool. Thinking that they can relive the past And that their youth will forever last. You know that you are young at heart But old age is tearing us apart so Enjoy the time of ageing, there is so much For you to learn and see, as we all try to age gracefully. © L. RAMS 060116
