Enjoy Your Youth

"Enjoy your youth" the old man said
The young man laughs and shakes his head
Quite sure his life will be enchanted
For he, being young, takes youth for granted

Time is on his side, he's told
But time will pass and make him old 
The old man knows this to be true
For he was once a young man too

So sweet is youth with young hearts beating!
Alas, those blissful days are fleeting
Though youth is strong and bold and clever
It will never last forever

When time steals youth and all its charms
Old age awaits with open arms
