To A Young Woman
2 min readNov 20, 2019
I wouldn’t trade my bright glorious wisdom
So painstakingly and slowly now attained
For your youthful dewy smooth skin
Or the excitement of being newly alive
Because inexperience and sheer stupidity
Is the hard uphill path you must climb
To even begin to know who you are
And learn what matters or doesn’t make a damn
Yes, there are memories so sweet and good
