A thing of beauty is a boy forever

 A thing of beauty is a boy forever

Dr Abe V Rotor

Boys Fishing in acrylic, AVR

Don't grow up, don't - not yet; 
don't be a man too soon; 
if you do, the fish will no longer bite; 
silent will be the stream and trees; 
echoes of laughter in the wind mute 
and emptiness will reign. 

Don't grow up, don't - not yet; 
you'll be man when it comes, 
growing full into a sage, 
once a boy on the stream fishing, 
whiling time away in the tenderness 
of growing up, tempered by 
sweet memories that will live on and on; 
for a thing of beauty is a boy forever.~
