You'll never have
another chance

as good
as this

you'll never be
more bolder

more able to
than this

so have your mid-life crisis
when you're 7 or 8

(don't leave it too late)

so that
you can get on

&

grow up to be
the self that you

should be.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Onelia Avelar 15 September 2008

I have to show it to my son who has just started his eight :) . Well said and original advice 'so have your mid-life crisis when you're 7 or 8' - if he could pass through this earlier :) ...What about me, I could try the same prophylaxis 'to outpace the crisises' to be or to remain 'the self that you should be'...
