Old As You Feel Poem by Peter S. Quinn

You are not old as long as you can dream
And feel the wonder of the world anew
You are not bound by time or space or scheme
But only by the limits of your view

You are not old as long as you can love
And share the warmth of your compassionate heart You are not cold as long as you can move
And play your part in life's creative art

You are not old as long as you can see
The beauty and the mystery of being
You are not blind as long as you can be
Yourself, and trust your own unique meaning

You are not old, you are not young, you are
A timeless soul, a shining star, a scar.
