Ah youth!

Today in Brussels I felt young
at heart and in my bones
though they may be aching - tomorrow
but it is so far away
and mayhap it will not come.

Today in Brussels I laughed hard
out aloud and inside
tomorrow it will be a memory
of the joys of friendship
and happy young ones

Today in Brussels I smiled
with true gladness in and out
there are people who can
make you feel up and about
and not drag you down.

Today in Brussels I applauded
in my heart and out
for the young men who love each other
enlarge our understanding
of nature's sure ways.

Today in Brussels I loved
through and true
that I was allowed to partake
for a moment their lives
This day is a true treasure.
