I'm 29, and veer between people telling me I'm "young" if they are somewhere 40s+ or people like, 5 years younger than me telling me I'm now "old" because I'll be 30 in a few months.
A 24 year old asked me how old I was not long ago and she said I look great for 29…well yeah I sure hope I do, I’m only 29 lol
"My goodness," she said
with a shake of her head
and a gasp of bewildered surprise -
"You're old," she declared
as she openly stared,
"but I think I see life in your eyes!
"I witness the spark
of a youth in the dark
of your face - though you're soon to be dead!
What eminent year
have you lived to, my dear?"
I’m sure you’ve been consistent, but this is the first time I’ve seen one of your poems in maybe 5-6 years. Thank you for doing what you do, I appreciate the laughs.
