The last of life for which the first was made, with apologies to Robert Browning


I used to be you...
smart
beautiful
young
crazy.

In a flash
I was old.

Don't follow.

As the flesh weakens
stay young.
As the mind hardens
stay young.

Make them grin
when you pass,
wondering how to become
just like you
when they're old

or even now,
while they're still
young.
