Stay Young Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan
Stay Young
To look young, what all tools have we!
Greyed hairs turn jet balck and we see
An younger face but wrinked and skinny,
Double chin too vandalise and add to your misery.
Facials you can do, so too you can apply cream,
Ads in jounals entice you, reaping more and more reams,
Presenting before you models for you to, of dream,
Beauty parlors, too many, to keep you seemingly on stream.
Myself greying fast and chin too slowly doubling,
At fifty two, look older I, but surely not balding,
A little child calls me grandpa and my wife aunty,
Somewhere it pricks, but takes it in my stride, as paltry.
Staying young and looking young is good and surely a boon,
Days and months fly fast as, April, May and June.
Keep your heart young, play and exult like a baboon,
Dress well, eat well and behave well and be never akin to
a bafoon.
people's effort to resit and hide the truth of existence, as concluded let all live the natural way, nice write and beautiful expression.

Ah, the lure of youth when we are losing its charms is the undeniable glory of it. We had it ere we realized its full potential, and losing it, feel we begin to discover its worth. But if we are lying in looking younger than we are, surely it will come back to haunt us, won't it? It's an issue so many of us struggle with. Indeed your conclusion has some sense in doing well and being wise....as for keeping our hearts young, what is that? Isn't that the opposite of wisdom? OR is it being perpetually open to learn? Never 'stuck in our ways' too old to be taught. Ya, that's what you mean, eh? I enjoyed this.
