How old are you?

Having just had another birthday, this poem about age caught my attention and I thought I would share it.....

Age is a quality of the mind.

If you have left your dreams behind,

If hope is cold,

If you no longer look ahead,

If your ambitions' fires are dead~

Then you are old.

But if from life you take the best,

And if in life you keep the jest,

If love you hold;

No matter how the years go by,

No matter how the birthdays fly~

You are not old.

H.S. FRITSCH
