But I don't feel
a day older than 15 (0_o)
Ha!
Who am I kidding?
My mind feels 'youngish'
(My thoughts feel old somehow--
Like I've been thinking them for years)
My body... well,
my knee feels older than the rest of me!
But the rest of me looks 'youngish'
My heart feels young
I still get excited about my dreams!
(I still have dreams)
You know,
like kids have dreams of wanting to be
someone when they grow up
I want to be
someone when I get older
I just don't want to grow old and ancient,
collecting dust in the corner of some old edifice
I want to be
someone who is older & wiser
& nicer
& healthier
& calmer
& happier
& friendlier
&...
& someone who still
dreams
and hopes
Of helping out
Of making stuff
Of growing things
Of starting a new career maybe?
Ask me in a few years...
maybe in 10 years
(if I am still here, Lord willing)
about my hopes & dreams
or if I still have hopes & dreams...
Thank you Lord for giving me 51 years!
Indeed "great is Your faithfulness"!
