8.24.11 A Mature Youthfulness
Quote of the day: The purpose of life is to fight maturity. -Dick Werthimer

Let me never finish growing
in mind, spirit and soul.
Let me never be dependent
completely upon myself.

As old as I may get,
let youth evermore shine through.
As wise as I may become,
let childish endeavors be in my favor.

Let not the years of my life
determine the age of my soul.
But keep me fresh and pliable,
always learning of new and old.

The skin on my face
may not be flat and smooth.
But this song in my heart
rings loud and true.
