Caribbean Youth
I never thought
then when we get old that we would still be moved by the pleasures of life even
if we were physically unable to act on them. Take music, there are some songs
that you always feel to dance. How unfortunate to always have to sit them out.
And, not being able to run out of the rain, or even to just shift you body out
of the sun. Growing old has its built in disappointments but now it punches
below the belt.

Come
celebrate the youth today And
join others far away Reminisce
of when you were young too Imagining
all the things you’ll grow to do Bright
eyed and naïve but eager to age Become
a world leader or some Business you’d manage Eager
for the day to have your own child And
how you’d protect it from a life that’s wild Nothing
back then could stop your ambitious savvy You
could conquer the world before you turn 40 Only
now life sped up and it’s hard to get a grip Unable
to walk without taking a slip There’s
beautiful music playing on the radio How
great to dance again, but you know Dancing
was part of your youth and could no longer be A
skill you had perfected with great dexterity Youth
should be celebrated, the canvas is still white Encourage youngsters to create before
life’s twilight |
