Where Memories Can Run Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

I like old people that look old
and young people that look young

Concepts that are original
laughter and fun

I like faces that show character
and faces that show hope

The wrinkles hard earned
youth and spirit elope

I like things that mesh quietly
and fit into place

Ideas that break barriers
reinventing my space

I like old people that look old
and young people that look young

And the bridge built between them
—where memories can run
