Hidden Youth

Reflective memories Of my yesteryears that Through time still remain vivid In my mind and kept tucked Away in a book of photographs Recollections of moments now A picture on a page! Fountain of Youth, Every now and then resurfaces In the present moments Sparks of my youth re-adapted To a new time yet still wanting To play a part in my present! Definitive changes only in physicality Highlights of wisdom in my grey hair Laugh lines on my face Reminders of the happy smiles Music forever in my soul and My feet still dance to the beat Of the rhythm of my heart! Old is the World that was here Long before I was born and Shall still remain after I am gone Yet, while I'm here I will stay Forever young!
