Young ones
are once
and not for long
And, Darling, some get
so very short
a run
in a country of an age
for young guns
canaries sing
hands wring
and record the sums
A fat lady tunes her ear…
new shoots break clear
outgrow old thought
to root the future with
valiant hearts
and open countenance
Young once comes
and brave
tomorrow will take
a lifetime
If you seize today
