Young At Heart! Poem by Gladys Brown Prince

Seventeen she was so beautiful and sweet
Just came off the plane for her aunt to meet
Her smile was so radiant her innocence felt
With hearts full of love we just nearly melt

The two boys when seen were so full of gleam
They loved her immediately and formed a team
So kind and so gentle she attended to their needs
They said she was God sent and no need to freeze

She adjusted quickly and settled with ease
There was no time to fumble or make believe
She learnt in her heart that she could be part
Of a family who loved her right from the start

Away from her home her family and friends
At such tender age was not easy to make amends
But as brave as a soldier she took command
The boys full attention were in great demand

With discipline spelt they found time and knelt
To seek the Commander and tighten their belts
They stayed close together and played many games
Much laughter was heard their hearts full of flames

Years went by so quickly to look back in time
With a boy and two girls now a mother she's fine
She's made a distinction to the youth of her time
Showing you too can make it if you're so inclined

You focus precisely and take note of the time
Whatever you do spend time with the Divine
He'll mould you fit you and place you in line
I know He has made my life worth every dime
