Twenty Something

You bitter, old, man

Look here, change isn't suitable for sissies

Hearts still break like favorite toys

That young lady isn't the usurper

She just wants to find her place in this mess

And maybe, a friend.

Life is tough and sometimes people are simply wanting compassion and a friend to talk to

[Crowley]

Exactly, and with the way things are now, a real friend is hard to come by. Thanks Girl!!! Great to see ya!

I pop on and off here. When I’m writing I’m on when I’m not I don’t get on as much or for long spans of time lol

It is definitely hard to find true genuine people in this world today. I’m all about those that are uniquely themselves; the misfits or just them. I don’t do fake or phony. We have lost the compassion in a world we’re everyone is trying to be perfect

[Lorry]

Aren't we all looking for that space to be ourselves and only become that ignored generation of geriatrics about the time they hit teenhood?
Ach! What do the young know. They've probably never even had a knickerbocker glory while sitting opposite that one..or anyone. They just get it delivered snd imagine it's just as good as the real thing!

[Crowley]

Thats great Lorry!! I try to commiserate a bit with them, trying to remember that I was once there. What great times!

[Ken Simm.]

Yes and yes to the subject and yes and yes to the structure.

[Crowley]

Thanks Ken!!

What a great poem love this one !

I suppose the older my kids get the older I’ll feel my youngest now 28 oldest 36 and middle one 33!!!!
No grandkids so can’t use them to feel young at heart

Looked at some old movies Xmas morning from 26 years ago brought a silent tear

Happy Christmas 🤶

[Crowley]

Lol...those movies are great! Thanks for coming by, I appreciate it!

Just had Christmas dinner with four twenty something’s. They keep me young
and I’m pretty thankful for that. Aging isn’t pretty but no point in being bitter. That’s plain nasty. Merry Christnas Crowley🎄 All the best.

I think hanging out with the young ones is awesome. Brings back memories and ren=minds me that I do know a thing or two. Thanks Chris!

wow, I love this one.
we don't appreciate youth until we are far removed from it...but getting old is NOT for sissies,
and yet...we need not close off our heart.

Lol...I have some younger friends and sometimes my older friends just aren't that nice to them. They keep me thinking young, and they really do love to hang, even if the topic of the hour is aches and pains from the rest of us. Viva Youth! Thanks Jacob!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Hey, talk about keeping someone young...my students do that for me...Isn't it grand to have them...
