Young Again

Young Again*** The true story tells of a boy Whose near-death experience Took him on a tour of heaven. The movie trailer shows the boy Unable to recognize a photo of his Elderly, deceased grandfather... Until he sees a photo of grandpa as A young man-about-town of which The boy says, “Oh, I everyone Is young in heaven!” And, Like most, I felt joy at the idea — Mostly the idea of joint pain relief To be found in a heavenly re-gained youth; But then, I got to thinking: How young is young-again in heaven? Perhaps, one should be old enough To read or use a telescope? Do our souls become legal at 21? Is 40 too old to let me reunite With my husband for eternity? What of the souls who did not Find their love for Jesus until 60? Is the peak of life definable by age? Is it the distance or the depth Of the soul that is sought? And, When is the how that is measured? Is 33 our cut-off? I think that is When I began real life kindergarten. ——————————————————————— (C) sally young eslinger 4/21
