-- SO OLD, STILL YOUNG –

John Herlihy

Yesterday is so old,

But tomorrow is still young.

Eternity is so old,

But time is still young.

The day is so old,

But the night is still young.

All those stars are so old,

But moonlight is still young.

Morning dew is so old,

But bubbles are still young.

My fear is so old,

But my courage is so young.

My hopes are so old,

But my dreams are still young.

All those lies are so old,

But the truth is still young.

My body is so old,

But my soul is still young.

The earth is so old,

But we humans are still young.
