Like a child I just sat in the sunlight and played with the minutes as they went running by. Like a child who had never known sorrow I didn't hurry tomorrow I iust looked at the sky. While the clouds went on endlessly passing. All the clouds on their long voyage home seemed to say that youth is everlasting but 0 ftower cannot grow alone. Rod McKuen
