Youth Is a State of Mind

Youth is a state of mind we choose to live
Though time that great pretender may deny
The truth that we perceive while years go by
In joy we know each instant passed may give
The moments we create to have and share
Do still occasion blessing on us rare
Youth is a state of mind we choose to live

That state of mind is most important, Geoffrey! Without it the phrase "merits of old age" would become meaningless! Congratulations on your fine win. Regards // paul

I'm with you, up to the point of debilitating health. With at least a modicum of health, it truly is all in the mind... Well-penned, in any event. ~ Never better or bitter in Chicago!

Yes, but then there’s always denial. Thanks for the feedback, Gershon

It definitely is a state of mind. Act old be old, act young, always young. This was fantastic. I like how you interpreted the photo.
