There'll never be a better time than now, When all the world's before us, yet unseen. We haven't made the choices that define us, But we are grown and ready to begin. Nostalgic in advance, we know well how We'll miss this place, our friends, and all that's been Precious to us here, when time will find us Far away, with much that's changed within. Can we stop to realize just how good A time this is, as it's about to end? Despite our troubles, heartaches, fears, and hungers, It is a moment most of us will treasure. But nothing can be fully understood Except in hindsight, which will comprehend The beauty that now runs between our fingers, And savor it with longing and with pleasure. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
