YooF

Today I’m 25 again, my mind wiped clean from years of stain.

 

Enthusiasm back inside , looking forward to the ride

 

My step springs with youthful hope, for future plans I don’t yet know

 

To jump the hedge and vault the gate , to race along to unknown date

 

A heart that’s free ,that knows no fear   the sun of youth that shines  so clear.

 

All choice is now in front of me my mind my own, I can be free.

 

Excited, running down the lane, body free of aches and pains

 

That age and accident  brings on , shouting out and singing song.

 

No thought of actions going forth , but random turns with random thought.

 

Paths to take with no clear end, let’s see what’s round the next few bends.

 

Close my eyes now , dream away , think not of the next new day

 

Or where I was or where I’ve been , or what would be the next new scene.

 

Revelling in the course of youth ,  look back in envy , and that’s the truth

 

We  may be old and wiser now, it all slipped by . I don’t know how.

The last verse is quite poignant.
