Forever young

A thought in the style of Jimmy Yetts and Andrew Mitchell

Drinking from the fountain of youth 

requires that one isn't swayed by 

what others think of the 'taste'...

very thought provoking ... and i believe quite true ...as we learn to accept our true selves ...what others think, takes the seat at the back of the line or i think you are right ..our health/youth suffers .. i like where your haiku-like, Mitchell/Yetts poem takes me :)

[Tony Jordan]

Hahah - a 'Mitchell-Yetts' it is !! Love it E!
If we are young-at-heart should we hide that in order to conform? no but the pressures from peers to 'behave' can make us unwilling and as you rightly point out - unwell.
Thank you for your thoughts E.
Much appreciated. :)

there are still some sips of youth that this old tongue tastes...and youth or age...is really a state of mind...and we all live in different states.

[Tony Jordan]

No offense intended here Jacob but my old dad was wiley as a fox and he used to say 'Don't let the gray hair fool you.'
Wow - though...a United States of mind would be some place to live eh Jacob?
(arrrgh...just checked Google and that phrase has already been copyrighted...lol)

[Tony Jordan]

Damn...manners
Thank you very much J

[Shabeeh Haider]

True indeed.
Many would go for the chance to be young again regardless what the others think

[Tony Jordan]

Its a bit controversial Shabeeh and I may seem contrdictory but... I mean who would want to go through puberty again?
Spots and angst and confusion - and that was only last week !! lol
Thank you Shabeeh for your thoughts.

[Shabeeh Haider]

You have a point...lol.
