Of Youthful Ignorance

This is a poem written about life in general. That dreaming of youth may seem attractive, but youth carries the veil of innocence that hides some of the truth of the world. Through failure success can be created if we understand why.

A youthful heart, ahhh, to be young again...
To find a lady, a beautiful miss
And place on her lonely brow love's first kiss.
Joyful curiosity beyond ken
Safe in my ignorance, time and again.
Looking to the future with childish bliss,
Looking without knowing something's amiss.
Those youthful eyes, ahhh, to be young again.
And yet, my soul I would have to deny
To keep youth's innocently darkened veil,
To think that life never has a good-bye,
To sing of the future and never cry.
I would rather try knowing I may fail,
Finding comfort in the wisdom of "why."

Written by Jeffry J. Brickley, January 2000
