The beauty of love

Still lingers within.

It may never fade away,

As in my mind youth is king.

 

As long as memories remain,

Youth will always be recalled.

It will remain as fresh and bright

As the days when I had my flings.

 

Rush not the days of aging

But rather keep alive your youth.

It may be but a masquerade

But life can handle the disguise.

Good morning, George! We must be on a similar wavelength these days. Excellent poem. The days fly. If only the good ones weren't so quick!

My mind's still young, it's my body that got old.

I act young but can't masquerade myself as a youth
I have a shirt that reads "growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional"
I like wearing it when I'm about to do crazy things with my grandchildren
Peace be with you

William

We are able to withstand much in our lives, and this masquerade is yet one of them.
