Forever Young Love

Love is free and is forever young Who said age is limited to find love Age is more than just a number it’s rather a number counted as blessing it’s to enjoy living the life you have to its fullest and fall in love happily regardless the number of your age Because your heart is ageless it needs to share that forever young love So there Be you Be free Be spontaneous Be happy Be loved Believe in yourself in what you do or who you want to be need not to worry of other’s opinions for they matter not dance to the rhythm of your happiness you’re a beautiful loving soul Be you Be strong Be curious Be adventurous ~ Live laugh love until you d r o p So there Share away your forever young love Seal your heart with true happiness Because a happy heart means a happy life This poem is dedicated to my grandma who found love again at the age of 79... she inspires me :)

Good for grandma. This was also visually superb. I continue to fall in love with my sweetie every day. 28 years and still falling!

Hi Akkina, you are right age, knows no barriers - I had been divorced for 13 years and was a single parent for some years, but met up with the love of my life (who I had been going out with 25 years ago) and in 6 months we got married. Each of us have a son from a previous marriage, but fate is a strange phenomena, fate knows who you should be with! A lovely write Akkina. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
