A Toast to Crimson Life Jason Vanderlaan If

growing up means

Settling into cold contentment,

Then I'll bask in the warmth Of my youth forever.

And

if

growing up means

Freezing

my dreams

Then

burn

I'll

Of my If

in ice,

in the fire

imagination forever.

growing up means

Forsaking the desire for

Life,

Then I'll ache in the pain Of my passionate existence

And

if

forever.

growing up means

Discarding hopes of adventure.

Then I'll smile in the face Of my beautiful uncertainty

forever.
