We used to sing on the sidewalks,
pen crazy slogans on the back of our hand,
rambled on philosophically,
ignorant of all that the future had planned.
Then came the thinking, as others pointed out
when confronting everything we'd say;
we didn't realise that we knew who we were
until too many things got in the way.
Inspired and paraphrased from the start of this post at Spinning Visions.

Little did we know what was in store for us back then. Several lifetimes till it’s all over!

We learn and we grow… but there is a blessing in being ignorant too.
