"Fleeting Youth", an exploration of the human condition
Summer keeps hanging on, yet it is almost time to reset the clocks.
The days are so much shorter now; am I so much older, because
I notice it more? When I was young, the days would last from
Dawn to dusk as they still do, but the two seem separated
By the briefest of moments. Never enough time. When
As a child, to me it took FOR EVER for Christmas to
Get here; now? It seems there are two events in
The year; Christmas and my birthday. Youth is
So fleeting, and we don’t appreciate it while
It is flying by, then when it is gone, we turn
To look, wondering where it went. I see
No way to stop the march of time, nor
To recover those days lost, the days
Gone by. We must do our best to
Appreciate the days we have
Left. Make them the most
Loving and caring days of
Our lives so far, we can
Always be better than
We were yesterday.
