Poetic Asides form poem

Sweet Sixteen
(Quatern)

Was sweet sixteen so long ago
A high school junior with long hair
A date who drove like A. J. Foyt
No clue to what would lie ahead

I had my friends and Jesus, too
Was sweet sixteen so long ago
The moods that went so up and down
And having fun my main delight

The memories are jumbled now
The speeding car on PA turns
Was sweet sixteen so long ago
The many kisses in the night

The A. J. Foyt guy’s still alive
But he’s so far back in the past
I’m married now with two grown kids
Was sweet sixteen so long ago
