Fountain Of Youth

Fascinated by the fountain of youth

That broke down yesterday.

All those people crying

And aging with every tear.

 

No more water gushing,

No more to sprinkle.

Youth has had its day,

We can't bring it back.

 

Youth remains in your thinking;

Don't let it age with your body.

The fountain of youth is your thoughts-

Help the other fellow and be happy.

Wise thoughts. The previous poem got me thinking about the fountain of water that our youth will need to continue on. As long as we maintain youthful thinking we can overcome the obstacles of everything around us aging and deteriorating.

I believe that those natives' stories in the Caribbean about The Fountain of Youth were told to get Juan Ponce De Leon and his cohorts out of their hair anyhow! Yes, I agree with you, George, in your last two lines, "The fountain of youth is your thoughts-

Help the other fellow and be happy."

Love ya!
