Young at Heart

Young at Heart

What young person will waste their youth worrying about growing old?
Besides, when we're young, we'll never ever on earth grow old.
In our youthful dreams, we will be beautiful and agile forever,
And you know what? None of us will age, not ever.

In our own mind we will always be eighteen, and until we see our face
Looking back at us from some mirror, then we're brought face to face.
But if you ask any older person how old they see themselves as being,
Almost every one will say a very young age. Frankly, I see that as a freeing

Revelation. Except for those around us, enduring our wrinkled form,
We can stay eighteen till we die. What's in your heart takes you through the storm.
I find a cheerful, youthful older one more pleasant to talk to, any day
Than someone who may be younger but acts older in every way.
