Never Grow Old Poem by Melvina Germain

Some say age is merely a number,
perhaps your mind will tell it true.
Age is simply the way you
think of you.

If you stop dreaming and forging
ahead, stop reaching out, wanting
to sing a brand new song.

If you stop looking at all the beauty
God gives, and your enthusiasm lacks
in the life you live. Perhaps you can
call yourself old.

But if you dream and continually set
goals, take all the love and let it
beautifully unfold. Embrace new
friendships with open arms, hugs and
kisses delight with charm.

No matter what the year, your birthday
brings, nor what songs you choose to
sing. The light of youth will remain, it's
true, and all will see that light coming
from you.
