Remember you are young

Still young

been on this planet
for fifty odd years
Tried to wake up each morning
Greet the sun with my heart
try to climb an endless hill
try to cross a depthless sea

there are days when my feet hurt
days when my arms want to rest
moments when my heart can't pump
moments when my eyes can't see

each morning, my heart opens
each moment, I take a step
I don't know where the road is
I don't know if there is an end
I keep walking, keeping young

I remember the universe is old
it's been here before my first breath
it will be here after I leave
even when my bones are brittle
my heart will keep beating
my soul will try to be young

you're never too old to be young
you're never too old to be young
hug the world with young eyes
embrace the world with warm hands
