    Subject: The Wisdom of Youth

    She danced among the moon beams
    Her eyes were filled with light
    A hand reached out to touch her
    She turned about in fright

    "Have no fear, sweet young dear."
    The kindly old man sang
    "For I am only here now
    To rid you of your pain."

    "But kind sir" the girl exclaimed,
    "I have no pain to rid!
    I have no wounds, I have no aches,
    I am but a kid!"

    "Sweet young girl" the old man said,
    "I know that now you don't.
    But the day will come, the years will pass
    And one day you will find

    Your face, so sweet, is old and hard
    Your joints will not unbind.
    I offer you eternal youth, escape from such a fate.
    A chance to dance among the stars, to never have to wait."

    "Oh dear sir," the young girl said
    "I have no need of this. For I do not my old age dread.
    I will welcome it will bliss.
    To know what I shall know then
    Is more than youth can give.

    Wisdom only comes with age. Without is not to live.
    I dance here now among the moon
    The stars shine bright and beam.
    But, to know "Why?" will not come soon

    Why they light my dreams.
    So I thank you, for your time
    and for the love you give,
    But I will grow and I will change

    And I intend to live."
