Be Young Forever

That is my wish for you
that you be young forever
No matter what age you attain
you keep a burning
to stay young
in your heart and soul.

This would bring happiness
to see you in life's glow
always maintaining a good attitude
of youthful effervescence
to get you through
turbulent, stressful times

It's this yearning
that will sear into your essence,
for years are just a number
that constricts the feeble minded
But you smile with delight,
keep the fire blazing

transcend the universe
with a serene, peaceful cascade
that reveals your true arrangement
with eternal wonderings.
