YOUNG and OLD.

When YOUNG,
I was WORRIED about
MY PIMPLES.
When I am OLD,
I am WORRIED about
MY WRINKLES.

When I was YOUNG,
I was WAITING to HOLD HER HAND.
When OLD,
I am WAITING for SOMEONE to HOLD MY HAND.

When YOUNG,
I was LONGING to be ALONE.
When I am OLD,
I am WORRIED why
I am ALONE.

*When I was YOUNG,
I HATED being ADVISED.
When OLD,
there is NO ONE around to TALK or ADVISE.

When YOUNG,
I ADMIRED BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
When I am OLD,
I see BEAUTY in THINGS around ME.

When I was YOUNG
I felt I was ETERNAL.
When I am OLD,
I know SOMEDAY it will be MY TURN.

When I was YOUNG,
I CELEBRATED the MOMENTS.
When I am OLD
I am CHERISHING MY MEMORIES.

When I was YOUNG,
I found it DIFFICULT to WAKE UP.
When OLD,
I find it DIFFICULT to SLEEP.

When I was YOUNG,
I WANTED to be a HEART-THROB.
When OLD,
I am WORRIED when will MY HEART STOP.

At EXTREME STAGES of OUR LIFE,
WE WORRY
but
WE DON’T REALIZE,
LIFE NEEDS to BE EXPERIENCED.

It DOESN’T MATTER whether YOUNG or OLD.
LIFE needs to be LIVED
and
LIVED WITH LOVE.!!
