Array ( [sid] => 163621 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Appreciating Life [time] => 2010-12-09 19:55:25 [hometext] => Youth is a terrible thing to waste. Don't forget to grab those opportunities to enjoy life when you're young. Old age will come upon us all like a passing shadow. [bodytext] =>
The sun will shine, and the clouds will rain
these winds will blow, and love will yet feign
the eye will see, and the heart will crave
the body will sin, and sin will enslave

The baby will crawl, and the boy will walk
the man will run, and love will soon talk
love's burning desire, but a fleeting fire
age overcomes, desires quickly retire

The old man now stooped over
memories have but faded away
that life once full of living, alas
sitting in solitude, nothing but decay

So in youth, don't ever miss the chance
never stop dreaming, a time for romance
the days are shadows, years will soon disappear
don't miss these opportunities when you're young
just because of this word called fear

You are so dead on with this write. People have no one to blame but themselves if they are too afraid to live and grab the opportunities that stand in front of them. Great message and refreshing to read. Well done.

So true! It's sad to just sit back and let life pass you by. A lot of people have to learn this the hard way. GREAT poem!
