When i was young i was free of heart... <br />Had no commitments fro' thee to depart. <br /> <br />When i was younger i was glad for holidays spent freely away fro' school... <br />In reality's sake i was merely a fool. <br /> <br />Had i known better at that younger years of mine.... <br />I'd have spent more time at my schoolastic studies fine. <br /> <br />When forced to do what we wish not to do... <br />Later we realize in life that we were mentally deficient and smartness for us would soon one day be way over due. <br /> <br />Years of learning and experience is a wake up call just waiting to catch up with me... <br />When i come to realize this day- All the lessons were wasted to me. <br /> <br />Now and again i realize a fact... <br />Lessons of yester year were hard to catch and hold onto. <br /> <br />Those hours misspent on idle time... <br />Should by today's standards of man's judgement of crime. <br /> <br />How may man make up for lost time? ... <br />Go back in time and do it all over the correct way. <br /> <br />Just so later he may change his way... <br />Then for the morrow he'd have a much better improved new day today. <br /> <br />Time travel would allow for better times ahead... <br />Later on in time you'd want to live better and not end up dead. <br /> <br />Changes of the times... <br />Removes from your life days filled only with lemons and limes. <br /> <br />Sugar and spice and nothing nice... <br />Use your time real well-That's my only smartish advice. <br /> <br />That is all to you that i may wish to tell to make you wisely <br />wiser of time.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-younger-than-young-and-free-er-at-heart-an/
