126:5.9 As he grew up to manhood, he passed through all those conflicts and confusions which the average young persons of previous and subsequent ages have undergone.

Young and Dumb?
Spring continues—gathers strength.
Beauty sings, and warmth it brings.
As day begins, the birds are busy.
Some sing songs that make you misty.

Songs can trigger memories.
There’s magic in those hideaways.
The memory of being young
Is your defense of being so dumb?

Wisdom’s gained by life experience.
It changes how you gain convenience.
Take control of your direction.
Make a change in your reactions

Ride the crest of Spirit waves.
Do the right thing every day.
Do it better as you live.
Practice is a way to give.

Look to see where you are going.
In general, we all are growing.
Some are only growing old
While others grow a story told.

Grow your story in a way
That shows you better ways to play.
Growing up in what we do
Leads us all to what is true.

Thank You, Father, You have reached
A part of me that yearns to preach
The “Good News” You’re there everyday.
Within us all, You mold our clay.
