Poems - Fountain of Youth
| | Fountain of Youthby diannone
Being around young people
awakens your child within–
that original seed born
and giving rise to all that follows
in your life.
Exposure to youthful yearnings
and unanalyzed ideas
lifts the veil off the overjudged,
seriously questioned,
and programmed face you wear
when you grow older.
Something inside you changes
when a young spirit touches you,
releasing the kid within
who wants so desparately
to experience things afresh
and without known boundaries.
It’s not the water you drink
that keeps you young.
It’s allowing young spirits to touch
that part of you that never grows old.
PLEASE: NO ANONYMOUS RATINGS OR COMMENTS.

Such a touching poem. A youthful and hopeful outlook on the world around us always helps the heart! To see things in such an open and unjudgemental way is true peace for me!

Oh, I really love this! I suppose one must reach a certain age to truely appreciate it, as I see some of the rates are not so high! My son became engaged last night and you see them as the baby they once were...and my youngest is 15 so I have that younth to watch spring into adulthood now. One 15 and one 16. It is so much fun, and waiting for a grand child, which, from your photo, you may already have...Lovely write!
