A Memorial To Youth

A  Memorial to Youth

 (one stop poetry Sunday Poetry Challenge)



I Caught the hair, 
Captured your stare
Tormented your soul 
Revived the demons for the old
For with one shot 
It screams ... the truth !
You had their lot 
The beauty
 of
 Youth !

    A woman in her 70's told me once, "I have earned every wrinkle I have." I will never forget the strong message she said in so few words.

    Well said. :)
