Childhood Waits Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Childhood Waits

When born as old
then aging young
Youth before us
with laughter sung

Each day better
than one before
Sick or senile
the past absorbs

Born decrepit
our weakness shows
A mother's milk
of hope to grow

As childhood waits
the future plays
Where years befriend
—each passing day
