It is in the formative years that there lies the answer
Of beauty untrammeled and free of censure
Memories that ground us as we mature
Living innocence before wisdom is a veritable treasure
For those that have been of these pleasures robbed
Spend their entire lives with no joy in God
That in not knowing love is the cruelest fate
They live through the paces engendering hate
Our age is full of impatience with childhood
Technology and social media hasten the departure of all things good
For pure happiness should be as smooth as uncut stone
Because the varnish of worldly wisdom could leave you all alone
Nonte – this is so well written , so true so poignant .. happy for all tyhe love that i have had in my growing up years. Mum and Dad and all of you – it a so good
