FOREVER YOUNG

Forever young my heart is,
Forever young it shall be –
A child’s love, purity and innocence,
Fills my heart if you care to see.

      Age may take its toll on this body,
      A mask of decay may set here –
      But Oh..! my heart is that of a little girl,
      Which stopped growing at sixteen years.

Forgive my fads, follies and foibles,
As the songs that are sung –
Forever young my heart is,
And I want it to stay forever young…!!
