It was the way we were back in the day; Uncertain times unknown how things would go. Like a flash, so quickly our youth would pay, One would lead and the others would follow.
Oh, sweet youth, how I miss thee and thy sprite, Always you showed me the path was my own. Never in fear of landing whilst in flight, Continued soaring where no one had flown.
In these days now I look back with contempt, I've not aged with grace but instead, I've faced, The facts of life which I will now attempt To make more sense in my age than to waste.
'Tis not the path we're on or how it's known, It's making it yours whilst it's overgrown.
