57

Coming up on 57.
Lead the way anew,
I shall follow shortly.
Tell me what to do.

Tell me how you do it.
How you stay so young.
What would be your secret,
Do not leave me hung.

I approach with angst,
The age that you'll see soon.
Let me know your secret.
Your youth still makes me swoon.

Don't know how you do it.
Eternally young to me.
Maybe that I love you such.
It causes me to see.

Beyond our chronological years,
You get to the heart of things.
I see the youth within your soul.
The youth from me you bring.

There are no wrinkles on ideals,
And love is always new.
Lead the way to another year,
I'll try to be young too.
