Stay young

by JLR

Before life's hardness tainted dreams
young friends sat by a river's bank
sharing each one's big hopes and schemes
painting a canvas that is blank.

The three boys and a girl closely knit
awash in a scene of idle chat
bring smiles to passerby who gets it
before his life was hit by a brickbat.

Togetherness is everything
as time stands still while being young
I say, " grasp hold of youth," and sing.
Dream large, no matter how far-flung!
