Still A Passionate Soul

Big surprise, this poem's about love

Foremost on this old man's mind

May be 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
