Poetry: Youth

FOREVER YOUNG

My skin is withered and wrinkled

But my soul is youthful still

My eyes are tired and weakened

But there's no weakening of my will

My outer body is misshapen

But inside I am svelte and fit

My head is full of knowledge

But the learning I'll not quit

Though I have aged and lived awhile

My youth remains intact

The memories of my early life

Nothing can detract

When they lay me in the grave

My epitaph can read

Here lies a young old lady

She kept her youth indeed
