Some days she's sad because
she knows she won't ever
be young again.
She feels young inside
but no one notices.
They see white hair,
a shuffling walk, glasses.
Sometimes it seems
like a punishment
to grow old.
Everyone wants to live a long time,
but no one wants to be old.
She remembers when
everything was new and exciting,
the possibilities endless.
She'll never forget how beautiful it was,
how beautiful it will always be,
to be young.

Ah, yes, to be young again. Nicely written, my friend.
Love,
