Fountain Of Youth Poem by Joshua Gallatin

Youth is sought after by the masses
Stay young and stay strong
Stay healthy and you’ll stay long
I’ve felt my youth wither
My age only seems petite by the elders around
Who will soon be six feet down
Exercise brings a mental strain
And physical drain
Pills will kill
And life still will be plain
Youth is achieved in a special way
A heart that flutters when one person is away
Only a small moment in time makes you realize
That youth is only an uneasy crush
When a feeling twinges your soul
Knots up your stomach it makes you feel whole
When passion ruins deep for a person who’s new
Grown is my heart and my intentions are true
That a feeling this strong I never will lose
For even if we fail my youth you have proved
