Sonya Florentino - Youth

Ah, Youth
Everyone loves you
Everyone is envious of you
So, Youth
What do you do?
You do nothing but be you!

For Youth-
It will not last
Alas!
It goes by fast
So, Youth
Take a breath
Leave the others
to do the rest

Yes, Youth
Take your time
Make sure to
Live life
Be wise
Bide your time
You have till
half-past five
