Youth
Some people in my age group forget their teenage years
Or
maybe they are stricken by the latest media fears!
One
thing is for certain we were just the same
And
for the state the world is in, we’re the ones to blame
Do
they not remember when they were in their teens
With
their raging hormones and what rebellion means:
The
agony of first romance and all those sleepless nights
And
when they were first tempted by some adult delights?
Do
they not recall the times when they would meet in groups
And
speak together loudly with lots of raucous whoops?
We
had our own loud music and tried forbidden things
As
we were escaping from our parents’ leading strings!
Can
we not remember when we had the confidence
To
try to put the world to rights, not sit upon the fence?
I
see the youth within our church fired up to do good deeds
And
fight the old establishment to meet the third world’s needs.
Sure
they muck about as well and have a lot of fun
But
they’re the future of the world when all is said and done!
And
given the complexity of modern life’s demands
The
future of our planet is safe within their hands.
I
thank God for their fervour and their need to do what’s right
And
that they will follow our Saviour’s guiding light.
