Too Young

Is youth wasted on the young?

Ha!

I wouldn't know;

I'm not old enough

To

Tell.

Is money wasted on the poor?

Ha!

I wouldn't know;

I'm not rich enough

To

Tell.

Truly, I'm

Not old enough

Or rich enough

Or smart enough

Or sweet enough

Or monkish enough

To

Ever

Tell.

Appreciation

Is for

The old

The thoughtful

The religious

And the blessed.

I'm too

Young

Poor

Stupid

Mean

Spiritual

To tell.

I'm simply

Too young

To appreciate

The love

The kindness

The beauty

Of life.
