The Fountain of Youth

Juan Ponce de Leon, an explorer
     searched for the Fountain of Youth

   He thought it somewhere in Florida
     'til somebody told him the Truth

   You're as old as you feel 
     in your heart and your mind
   The FOY's not in Florida ~

     Tap into your soul
     It's there for to find

That's so true, Gershon said she struggled to put her shoes on, and in the process, her glasses slid off her nose onto the floor.
