How old are you?

avigail

Being bald doesn’t mean you are old.

Being old is a state mind:

When your neurons are all twined.

When there is no space for the new.

Or when you say non stop “ this I knew”.

When you are not exploring anything

And you are passive to what life may bring.

So check how old you are

You maybe 20 but in your body-mind 89 or far.

    Thanks AVI ~ it's problem we face every day ~ premature aging due the strain & stress of the 21st C ! Then there are lots of MEN who never grow up and ENJOY a second childhood which Ladies have to ENDURE. For the record (in case you hadn't noticed ?) I'm 33 (chronologically) going on 17 (actionswise). Thanks for sharing ~ Love BRIAN

      a good question may be how old would you be if you didn't know how old you are? I think one is as old as they feel regardless of time spans? thanks avigail. ww
