The Young Within
When you see an old person hobbling along
Don't frown and then turn away.
For inside that withered old body
Dwells a heart that's still young and gay.
You may see hair that's turned silver
And age-spotted wrinkled old skin
But take a longer, deeper look
To see the young person within.
A person who's known joy and happiness
And perhaps has cried bitter tears.
Who has shared times of youthful laughter
And knowledge that has come with the years.
So don't laugh at them with derision
Reach out and take them by the hand.
For someday when at last time has touched you
You'll know the young inside and understand.

Growing old is something that touches most of us.
As
we grow older we tend to look back on all our years,
sometimes
with sadness and sometimes with happiness.
But always remembering. Those memories are a part of
our very essence. It is difficult for the young to realize the
feelings we have inside and that though we look aged,
we
still have that young person inside our hearts.
The one who
still wants to run and play even though our
aged bodies hold us
back.
For the young ones who do understand that,
we can
only say Thank You.
Kaye and Betty
