In the gentle dawn of youthful days,
Where dreams unfurl in golden rays,
Time seems endless, yet slips away,
Leaving shadows where we lay.

The vibrant bloom of life so brief,
Like autumn leaves in quiet grief,
Whispers of promises left unsaid,
As stars ignite above our head.

We chase the light with eager hearts,
Knowing not when the journey parts,
Each moment cherished, yet undefined,
In the tapestry of life, intertwined.

So let us dance in this fleeting grace,
Embrace the time, this sacred space,
For though the candle may flicker and wane,
The warmth of love shall long remain.
