The Fountain of Youth


 

Ascending,

As everlasting as a mortal crown;

Can't fathom going down.


Resisting the force of gravity,

Undestined stored capacity.

Someday we all will touch the ground.


With the complexion of a cloud,

Age is rebellious.

Reaching its apex loses its essence.


Life is a gift,

God is the source,

... & youth is just an abstract concept.
