Still A Passionate Soul

Big surprise, this poem's about love
Foremost on this old man's mind
Maybe old but still a passionate soul
In spite of the passage of time

Never realized that in our older years
That one only ages physically
Our minds, our hearts, our basic souls
Remains forever still free

Still free to think, to admire, to love
Just like in the prime of our life
Bodies weaken but minds grow stronger
Much more worldly in spite

As a younger man, I was quite insecure
Life has a way of changing us
Passage of time helps us gather strength
To deal with that not-so-good stuff

Still got a bunch of happiness to give
Heart's overflowing with glee
Really can't imagine a life without love
It's what sets our dear hearts free
