youth is wasted on the young poem
. *My 8 year old said this to me last night We heard it said repeatedly, in adage olden and far-flung, through springs misspent too heatedly, that youth is wasted on the young.Our ‘salad days' of judgment greenfound life a song to still be sung, a wanton time when slate seemed clean.Ah, youth is wasted on the young.If mad pursuits of senseless aimsleft us ‘at sea', burned-out, unstrung, from revelry in ‘fun and games', then youth is wasted on the young.When ages past maturitythose words oft heard have freshly stung, we see with blinding suretythat youth is wasted on the young.Yet, wiser than we were before, we heed the chimes at midnight rungand anchor vagaries ashore.Aye, youth is wasted on the young.We seek enlightened paths to knowand glory just to dwell amongthe blossoms of an inner glow.Oh, youth is wasted on the young.And golden years bring different dream, when passion's lost her silver tongue, for lasting peace to reign supreme.Yes, youth is wasted on the young.< June 17,2015 >, true!
