I Am Young

I am young, 

But if I where a dog I would be in my late 70s

And I have lived for 4x longer than most hamsters

And 170 lifetimes of a fly.

Each day I live is all a mayfly lives in their entire life.

Yet I am young

Because I have lived less than a quarter of my life expectancy.

So I am young,

Because humans die old

And what a privilege that is

To have lived 170 lifetimes of a fly

And still be considered a child.
