Akkina Downing Poet Free verse

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
