To Stay Forever Young
Is to fully grow then proudly standing tall as a tree,
While sapling baby mind still lies there on forest floor.
That innocence before ravages of time truly counting,
Spirit never to ever grow any older than you think.
This is that secret that many strive in life to find,
Brains being too busy trying to preserve body doomed,
Forgetting souls which have not aged even a second,
A fountain of youth not seen yet felt with each emotion.

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
