Enjoy this age, for it's unique:
This one year that you're twenty......
They have a name for ev'rything
As "tots," and "in-betweens," and "teens,"
"Adults," and "middle-aged".....but see
For this one year you are quite free---
For it fits NOWHERE, exactly!
The labels next year start to be:
"Adult" from hereon to eternity.
Thus, see THIS age is quite unique....
So do enjoy just being twenty!!!!

beautiful...waitin to be twenty...seems like some fun rite?
Oh, I suppose, really so much of life is fun, seriously. It all depends on your perspective sometimes, it seems. I foolishly longed for so many years to be twenty, that I coined the phrase for myself anyway, that "twenty years=forever" or something to that effect.
TWENTY is a wonderful age and one we all anticipate or pass through. Its like being TEN only twice as good. When a person becomes 20 they are no longer a TEENAGER and can (maybe for the first time) feel grown up. Thanks - HEXAGON.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment, I quite enjoyed it. I reckon all were enjoyable, ten, teens, and twenty. Speaking of feeling grown-up, I spent the latter half of my twentieth year in eager anticipation of becoming an adult officially, with a dread of what that might entail.
young as ever!!
Thanks very much for your comment...but you got me....what do you mean?
No matter what the age we all are young inside
Ah, how VERY true that is.
