YOUTH
–>When in my youth, I fought the fight
The world was wrong and I was right
The answers were so clear to see
It was the questions that eluded me
In everything I was so sure
Life was the disease, I had the cure
The wisdom of those gone before
Was nothing but forgotten lore
No one could tell me how to live
I needed no advice they’d give
I had contempt, my heart was cold
For I was young and they were old.
I spoke too much and listened never
So sure I would be young forever
Such foolishness and bridges burned
Until one day the tables turned
Now I’m the one who tries to teach
The younger ones I cannot reach
To tell the lessons I have learned
But they see lines, not wisdom earned
For they are young and fight the fight
The world is wrong..and they are right.
such insight and trust me – after raising four kids I know how it is to teach and pass on the wisdom. It does sink in though after they learn from the same experiences I did. Great write
