Belligerent Poetry

still young

as dave just told me,
it's pretty rough just being alive.

so whenever i see
that a day is too much for me,
a problem too high to climb,
i think out to those of you
who've made it
through so many years
seen your share of tears,
smiles, fights, & silly fears.
and i want to give
each of you a smallish hug
from me while i'm
still young.
