It is a well-written fact <br />that one’s old age is a second childhood. <br />It is a fact to be written <br />That one’s middle age is a second adolescence. <br />In second childhood, lethargy looms; one limps. <br />In second adolescence, energy blooms; one jumps. <br />16.02.2002, Pakd<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-adolescence/
