Beyond Their Years

A poem I wrote 10 years ago...

By: Todd Dias

Age: 18

They tell me that’s where they meet

The telephone pole on the end of the street

What makes this one so unique?

They tell me that’s where they meet

Girls and boys who grow so sweet

Together in confidence on the street

They tell me that’s who they’d meet

A little boy who does not know

The story he’ll learn as he grows

The boy looks on from the fields

To the clouds that consume him

He feels he could fly

In the future he’ll look back

But right now he’ll relax
