That is wonderfully written, Andrew! If only we could go back and talk to our youth, wouldn't that be something every person desires: to tell your younger version how to construct the future? It's sad how it's impossible. I loved your words here, Andrew! Thanks for sharing!

It’s funny I had just listened to pink Floyd sing that song then I read your poem
Great 👍 loved it

[andrew mitchell]

Love that song and album. Thanks Julie. I’ve been listening to Atom heart mother by pink Floyd of late, their early stuff before DSOTM.

right now I am feeling this one...
come back, Youth!
like the kid in Shane yelling at the end "Shane, come back Shane, Shane!"

[andrew mitchell]

Yeah know the feeling J. Thank you for your words.

Wouldn't it be fantastic, to speak to ourselves in our youth? To be allowed a specific amount of time, to ask whatever we wanted, or to simply get to know "our self". There was a movie with Bruce Willis, where he was mysteriously confronted by an eight year old version of himself. It's called, "The Kid", a Disney movie released in 2000. If you've never seen it, I'm sure you could find it online. It's quite entertaining.

Thanks for your words Kelly. I enjoyed the movie Big with Tom Hanks which is the reverse.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Very funny, too!

I'm sure this is a desire that most contemplate. Brief and to the point. thanks for the post - carl (spoiler alert: he made it.)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Carl

Ahh, if only. And yet, I wish I knew then what I know now. You can't win. :)

Poignant reflection Andrew - sometimes age does indeed bring wisdom and hopefully contentment. Nice Work.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... a very poignant message...
hope your wish brings a dream come true.
gently, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

Same to you dear Pat. It’s a hot 40’s today.

[Patricia Wedel]

I feel
Like a Freesia Flower waiting for the Snow… as the Wind blows…. By the way I was born in 1940…. So the 40’s May be Warm… lol. Pat

[andrew mitchell]

I feel like a wilted flower

We don’t have air conditioners.
