Jeune
scared, battered, lost
confused, hopeless people
until someone reaches out
a place for you is found.

Adulte
Lost, confused hopeless
fast, unwavering, long
someone helps you stay up
but cannot walk with you

Vie
Never ending, always headed to the end
help offered, but always removed
expected to live on your own,
expected to live for everyone else

Amour
Belonging to and owner of another
separately individual
together greater than life
held apart by time and society
becoming one greater than all
when together.
