Could you first pull out a book and read me some of that



This morning I just realized
that my youth will not last forever.
It's a funny thought,
skin will loosen
sag, stretch, crease.
One day will I look in the mirror
and question my worth?

No, I won't
My teenage years are over
As I enter the third decade of my life,
I like where I am.
Don't want to prepare for to a creased face
aching bones
and decreasing sight.

Today I am free
Will I be in 30 years?
Seems like so far away,
but I know it's not.
