    Before The Age

    Before The Age

    From my front porch I watch them play

    And travel back to my youthful days

    I laughed and ran with agility

    When I was young, all was possibility

    From my front porch I sway and rock

    Minutes are swift upon the old clock

    Time goes by as I watch them play

    I smile with thought of my youthful days

    From my front porch I watch girl with beau

    Hand in hand along the street they stroll

    I’m taken back to a different time

    When I was his and he was mine

    From my front porch I watch the m play

    And travel back to my youthful days

    Memories are a precious thing, something many forget or take for granted. Thanks, ken

    Well Rita, if you sit there on your front porch watching others stroll by....a knight in shinning armor is liable to stop and ask you to climb on....and off you will go...into those days of yesteryears. So keep smiling that wonderful charming smile of yours, and it may happen when you least expect it................g

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
