What Age Are You?

Some are real sensitive about how long they've been here.
Maybe they're dubious that someone may notice their slower gear.
Don't worry, slow doesn't denote anything except you're slow.
Your friends all know that this is as fast as you can go.

Speed doesn't necessarily speak youth, but neither does it always apply to youth.
I was born slow, and that's my natural speed. That's my truth.
Personally I think personality tells just how youthful or how old
Your outlook is. We've all been elated when we've been told

That we seem younger than our years. Another trait that keeps one young
Is an intense interest in life and living, not feeling your last song is sung.
When your eyes sparkle with humor and love and caring, you're fun
To have around. No matter what your age. It sort of makes you a welcome one.
