Life is Now

Wide eyed wonder of childhood dreams Unabashed glee in daring schemes Innocent laughter, loud and free Bruised elbow and bleeding, scraped knee Life is now, pure and true The rebellion of teenage years Sudden anger and needless tears Often sulky and always rude Cloaked in aggressive attitude Life is now, bold and wild Ambitious youth caught in rat race No urge to pause or slacken pace Climbing the ladder of success No time to rest or  to de-stress Life is now, fast and rushed Old age comes with calm acceptance Less complaints and more repentance Wisdom that comes from life’s sorrows No more living for tomorrows Life is now, memories.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
