When We Were Young

[Justsomedude]

We swore we'd run it

till the wheels fell off

and when they did,

(because they always do)

we concluded that bad things

happen to good people.

But we were wrong

and justifiably so -

for who could stand against

the arrogance of youth?

And now that the enamel has

long been worn from our teeth

And our vibrance faded like the

hues of our hair, we stand corrected:

For each renders his own suffering.

Some to bring us up..

Some to bring us down,

but it's all to the good of things.

It was given by God that a man

should suffer for his own actions,

but not for demise, cynical observer,

but that he should learn and become.

Love that hopeful turn at the end.
