You are always as young as you choose to be. Age is only a number.

 To Old To Be Young

 
I'm to old to be young 
to young to be old
stuck somewhere in between,
looking in the mirror
I know I've aged
but looking back at me,
is the child that once 
frolicked through youth
not a worry nor a care,
every line on my face I've earned
as well as my silver hair.
I'm proud of who I am 
the person I've become,
a soul I hope the world will remember
to young to be old
to old to be young.

I appreciate the point of view that you have shared through your verses here. I am often told that I never grew up. I take it as a compliment even is those who express that sentiment don't mean it as one. Love and best wishes,

Regis

I don't believe you, Kathy. When you're too old to be young, you are in the fourth quarter, down to the 2-minute drill. I'm going out with "goo goo" on my lips any way I can get some there! Keep smiling...

Actually, those are the best years of one's life. Enjoy them while you can before the final chapter begins.

To old to be young,
but one things for sure.
I might be old,
but I never did mature.

Hah! I was well into my forties before I finally understood that I really wasn't a teenager any more.
