The wisdom of youth (8/5/96)


The wisdom
of youth
from fallen tears
of an elderly love
giving,
a smile
from any face
that didn't always
mean
the sun rose east.
Remember
when a heart
truly felt?
Remember your own,
franticly
reuniting beats
time has
through a life
of wondering humbleness
tried
to have you forget?
Though years
have come between
I will still
live in the humbleness
you
gave me
And as I so clearly feel
the clasp
of the fingertips
that lead my hand
to my own mouth,
my own heart.
As age
led my same hand,
to yours,
I'll never forget you,
your tears
your smile,
or
my promise
8/5/96
