Young We Were

Once we were young and now we are not

I think as my young self once did –
but I know that I’m not

My body can’t keep up – but my mind is still there

Young we were -

thinking we had the answers

But now knowing we had many more questions 

Young we were -

When we feared aging 

thinking time for accomplishment was finite

Young we are -

As long as we hold our memories
the mind always will be

I am glad to have struggled up this road of maturity
