Stay Gold

When you're young,
Everything is simple.
Everything is urgent, and requires immediate attention.
Patience isn't learned until later.
When you're young,
Eye contact is worth a thousand butterflies,
A push is worth two thousand,
A hug, three thousand;
And a kiss is worth a million.
When you're young you are golden,
And nothing, not even death can touch you.
The world is a playground.
Bliss is waking up every morning,
To explore,
To steal flowers from the neighbor's garden with your best friends,
To be chased by boys,
And to wake up at 6am Christmas morning.
When you're young, you want to grow up,
You think that when you are older,
You will have more power, and therefore more fun.
But we lose touch with ourselves.
Adventures are put on the back-burner,
And fairy tales only exist when we listen to our ipods at night.
Robert Frost says that nothing gold can stay.
But I refuse to let my life end up that way.
