Younger Souls

Some folks can't dig deep enough to see the truth They cannot introspect, they are not obtuse They have younger souls and graze through life They have maybe experienced life only twice They experience emotions less intensely Their lives are lived less complexly Older souls recognize the younger Younger souls see no difference in others You probably can think of someone you know They don't have to be young to have a young soul They can be very intelligent, successful and kind But there's something different in their state of mind It's a depth that is absent, it is sensed An inner wisdom that hasn't commenced If this is not understandable to you Chances are your soul is lovely and new August 27, 2016

Dear Tanis, what a beautiful poem of the difference in young and old souls. We have been through much over the years and we have achieved a degree of wisdom but still remain young in spirit! Great poem my dear. Betty
