| At This Time In Your Life On the threshold of all your tomorrows On the brink of what life holds in store You experience dreams, joys and sorrows As they blossom like never before Your genuine, sensitive nature Is sure to win you many friends While the jealous, the most immature May say unkind things now and then Please know you are priceless, endearing A valuable, wonderful lad Recall the applause and the cheering Whenever you start feeling sad Feel confident in all that makes you So talented, bright and worthwhile And your future, wherever it takes you Will bring you your well deserved smile! |
| Youth Youth is feeling as thought just born In the spring of every year Anticipating, instead of dreading Whenever a birthday draws near Youth is feeling warm inside When someone smiles at you Planning; not just reminiscing When the day is through Falling in love every other day Daydreaming what others can’t see When what you will do today is important And what tomorrow will be It is sometimes making new ideas Out of things that once stood still Feeling extreme elation or pain Moving on from each pain and each thrill A fast ride paid for by Mother Nature Who can’t help but marvel at you For there are so many things, great and small Only youth is able to do It is understanding with no prejudice Or nostalgia to judge right and wrong And to that generation, the young at heart Even when older belong. |
