eighteen

to be eighteen is a terrible thing.
too old for compassion, too young for sympathy.

    too young for sympathy....insanely thought-provoking words. I’m still thinking about this.

    To be eighteen is a wonderful thing
    Passionate youth may your heart still sing
    Be not fearful nor shed your tears
    While your heart’s not jaded by the years.
    Then as you look back as a man so old
    Eighteen will seem like solid gold
    Advice you may not wish to buy
    But the price is zilch, it’s worth a try ;-)
