When we see the young as we once were <br />When we know the pain and poignance <br />Of our never being able to be young again, <br />The only way of escape perhaps <br />Is to look at our children and grandchildren <br />And dream Youth will be for them <br />Happier and longer than it was for us<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-we-see-the-young-as-we-once-were/
