We are young only once
Is this what you think?
Because if that were so
I’d have to gently say
“You’re wrong….”
We can be young a thousand times
A million times
As many times as you might choose
On any given day
Youth is in the smile
In a gesture
In the wink of an eye
Is a story
A childlike wish
No matter what your age. . .
There are those who believe
That chronological age of the physical being
Has some particular meaning
When it comes to this notion of youth
But what if youth is not a state of mind or body
But a reflection of one’s heart?
Could we not be
Just as young at 92
As we are at 5?
Open the doors
And let fun in
Then carry on being silly
As long as your heart desires
There is plenty of opportunity
For stuffy and serious
Try to leave room for joy
And let joy spill into your life
On any given day
Youth is for the young at heart
Just reach out
And make that choice for you
For as long as your heart desires!
