"Life"

Some parts of life are over now
I must admit – I don’t know how
Those young folks know so much, so young,
Like we did once, when we’d begun –

To take our places ’fore each task
Jump in, and seldom stop to ask
The old folks standing with a grin –
We did not comprehend – for in –

Brief moments we took up the slack
With energy – aware we lacked
The wisdom we would one day see,
If we survived its present need.

Thanks Lord for this.
