I wish I was twenty and in love with life
And still wanted to change
To change the world
Inwards, old brain!
Who has the heart of a universe
There is no adversity
Only the opportunities
Given by evolution
Roses and blooming
For those who see God
In created things
I wish I was twenty and
So ready to make a self-portrait
That had dreams beyond ambition
And still wanted to love
The goodness of this world
Onwards, fantastic spirit!
We have lives for this yet
And hours, and days, and years.

Awesome!
Funny, I wrote about being 20 too, only mine is very sad. 20 was a hard year for me.
I’ve lived long enough to have forgotten how hard it may have been… 😛
Perhaps (un)fortunately I have notebooks filled with scraps of poetry and journal writing to remind me. I try not to forget the lessons learned, they make me a better person today.
I don’t know, maybe we all take ourselves too seriously in our 20s hehe
That was definitely my teens, lol. By 21 I had a baby and 3 cats, all ideas of self were quickly shoved aside. That said, every year is better than the one before!
wow motherhood, I wish I had kids but at this rate I’m not sure it’s in the cards for me…
take your time! i wouldn’t give mine back but there are times i wish i’d had more time first
Are you a single Mom? I was raised by one.
amongst many other titles and labels i wear, it’s one of the ones i am proud to claim.
Sweet, indeed they are just roles and labels and blessings.
Thanks for liking my poetry!
“Onwards, fantastic spirit!”.
Amen.
You are very welcome, anytime!
By the time I was 20 I had been on my own for 8 years and already felt like an old man. Wait until you’re 50 and you realize that that “fantastic spirit” is just getting his feet under him. Barring the unexpected, you’ve still got a lot of glorious life to live. Enjoy it, because only you can live the one that has your name on it. Read you later.
Cool
Thanks Mifa
