Forever Young

This cage of wants and hopes and dreams will age, as wear and tearWill take its toll where aches and pains will make us more awareOf what has always been this way; time’s play of groan and grinWill scrawl its telling empathy on/in envelopes of skin The best and worst of blessed and cursed will keep no form intactTime’s sleight of hand adept at disclosing matters of factYet cannot touch the much more meaningful and precious partWhere love and thankfulness can keep us ever young at heart © Janet Martin For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
