No Staying Power Poem by Dorsey Baker

No Staying Power

Rating: ★5.0


youth flies
like a crazy bird
away from us
it comes and
it goes
quick
as a wink
the ship that smoothly
sails
suddenly
it begins to sink
when it is time
for it to go
you cannot
make it stick around
it moves much
too fast
you just cannot
slow it down
youth
is full of speed
but has no
staying power
