WHEN WE WERE YOUNG <br /> <br />1) <br /> When we were young <br />The world was young <br />Now we are old <br />And the world is old too. <br /> <br />2) <br />When we were young <br />The world was young <br />Now we are old <br />And the world is younger <br />than we are. <br /> <br />3) <br />When the world was young <br />I was not young <br />Now I am old <br />And the world is older- also. <br /> <br />4) <br />To be old is to be sadder <br />So much is not here any more <br />One will never be <br />What one was- <br />One can still hope faintly to be <br />One what longed to be- <br />But one knows <br />This too probably <br />Will not be given. <br /> <br />5) <br />Oh how Youth flies by in it all its glory <br />Oh how Time leaves us alone <br />With our memories and sadnesses <br />Our fears <br />For what is yet to come.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-we-were-young-4/
