Fountain of Youth
The fountain of youth exists within us.
To find this rare elixir is the task.
Without it, life is destined for sickness
And brief existence; having, life will last
A long and healthy, joyous time it brings.
Imbibe the water that flows to the well
That is fed from five meandering springs.
Then daily sip and swallow, never tell
A soul. And jealously guard its secrets
Of health, longevous treasures. Keep your mind
As pure as the liquid quaffed and get set
For spiritual uplifting. To find
This elusive potion I must profess:
Seek but don’t overlook the obvious.
