Poem: YOUNG AT HEART

My body is naturally aging, yet my heart remains the same.
The law of nature is taking its course, I only have time to blame.
Tho the years have taken their toll; I've grown wiser every day.
Working hard to secure my goal; Yet my heart still wants to play.
So when you look at me, don't judge me by my outer shell.
See my heart that is still dancing, and know I am doing well.
Inside there still resides a child, though wrinkles and aches are a part.
The truth about me you should know! I'll remain forever young at heart!
