WHEN I WAS YOUNG

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

  

When I was young

Love was everywhere.

Songs of love filled the air,

From birds singing to radios playing.

 

We danced to our favourite songs

We loved to sing along.

 

Where have all the time and years gone?

It truly was only yesterday.

 

Is it the last call for lonely hearts?

We say, not for us.

 

Our hearts are forever young,

Dancing and singing forever to love songs.

 

This poem was written by Paula Goldsmith

 

Young at heart is a phrase that describes a person as having traits associated with young people, such as hopefulness, optimism, energy, or enthusiasm.

 Being young at heart can surely be a coveted quality to some grown-ups who despite being old still feel that a lot of life still remains in them.

 Older adults who feel young at heart may not only live longer but may also have more life satisfaction, lower dementia risk, reduced depression symptoms, and better health in the future. Interestingly, how people feel about their age has been changing over time.
