"Life has no rehearsal, this is the real thing."

by HansRik   Nov 5, 2005


"Life has no rehearsal, this is the real thing."

The childish Innocence that has faltered away,
As I remember my lovely youthful days,
Bringing back a sweet smile in my way.

O! How I used to play with friends,
And how we used to think without extent.
This precious game has subtly met its end.

And as I walk, cherishing these thoughts,
The sky becomes ever so pink, and full of naught.
These are intangible smiles, for which I have sought.

Time is a cruel warrior that must carry
Memories and plays that used to be so merry,
Turning us into creatures so scary.

The passing of the years...

Life is too short but nonetheless too beautiful.

And all those smiles, and tears shed, are a real gift.

But past is past, now look upon the future deeds.

Enjoy your days you who are young,
For life has no rehearsal...
This is the real thing.

    Bringing back a sweet smile in my way.
    i think you should change that slightly, the 'in my way' clashes.
    very nice, and true. Growing up is a phenomina(sp?) all its own, and it's a one time thing. 5/5

    I love the idea behind this poem. and your style of writting made sure that although this topic has been used many times before this poem still has a very indervidual feel about it.
