Letter To A Dear Young Friend

 Most of what I experience

from now until the end of

my life will be imagined.

I no longer have the looks,

the body, the energy,

the will, nor the time left

to do most, if any of it.

Most of what you imagine

from now until the end of

your life you’ll experience.

You’ve got the looks, the

body, the vitality, the hot

desire, and the time left,

so, don’t waste a minute!

I once had all the time in

the world, and was afforded

many great opportunities.

I passed over most of them

because of one thing, and

one thing alone: fear.

Push the envelope, reach

beyond your comfort zone,

seize each moment as it

comes, be bold, and live

large on wide screen and

in Technicolor!

With much love and envy,

Your Dear, Old Friend
