Enjoy the moment young man
for this maybe the most like a king
you will ever be.
And the mastery of ample questions why
and the absorbent nature of a mind
which will never be so young.

Enjoy the spirit and energy endowed
in the time between perfect
unvarnished sleep and dreams.
And the explosion of growth in
understanding such as you
will ever experience.

For the world is simple for you as it
is unfolding before you. Surely you will
never quite see things with such eyes
of innocence, and sense of wonder.
And someday, far from now, you will seek
in vain to recapture this sense of wonder.
