I close my eyes and think of youth
How life is a changing stream
Although with age comes deeper truth,
It gave foundation for our dream.

The body may weaken, and loveliness fade,
The mind can fail to recall
But let your soul not be afraid
We are as moon beams when they fall.

Silvery clouds adrift within the brain
A feather on a pond
The rainbow in a drop of rain
The magic in the wizard’s wand.

The sun gives children the light to grow
Innocence all arrayed,
Wisdom comes to us, we glow
As we saunter in the shade.
