i am too old to learn new tricks <br />yet too young to forget the old tricks <br />i am too old to care much about anything <br />yet i am too young to stop caring entirely <br />i am too old to become reckless <br />too young to play it safe <br />too old to be afraid of the future <br />too young not to be scared by today <br />too old to play ball <br />too young to be out of the game <br />I am an awkward age... <br /> <br /> <br /> 2009 ©TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/relearning-life-s-lessons-in-short-sentences/
