Losing my youth

How do I know I've lost my youth? 

When I see the sea
And I see dirt and tepid water
And not the Sea of endless possibility 

When I see the pool and while swimming I pause 
To think
This is such dirty water! 

Please don't let me lose the child in me completely , ever 

Then I see this and before I'm aware of the possible artifice of the gesture, I feel a thrill and hope there's still hope ... For me
