A Young Her

Fearing the fear of aging while respecting age and the wisdom it comes with

In she walks, this radiant beauty

All the guys stop and stare

A fast learner who quickly does her duties

In life she hasn't a care

I like her but my blood just boils

Every time she's on the scene

Smelling of fresh fruit and essential oils

She speaks, but I treat her so mean

Inside I'm green remembering when

It was me who caught their eyes

The envy I faced now makes me grin

Back then it made me cry

I'll take her under my wing

Show her all the things

To expect for days to come

The wins the losses, the ups and downs

So innocent, so sweet, so young...
