Age
Age is defined as a number
Old and fit, even if others slumber
Wrinkly and crinkly is what they see
The heart may still be young and free
Nothing can stop you from having fun
Dancing, singing or bathing in the sun
Even running a 26.2 miles marathon
No need to be shy, you are still number one
Live life to the fullest regardless of age
Your book flowing with every different page
No need to feel isolated in that cage
A number cannot stop you from performing on stage
Falling in love with someone young
Lips moving until the songs are sung
Ethnicity and sexuality may cause strife
Not letting anyone obstruct your life
Inside out, your beauty will remain
Regardless of health conditions and pain
Don’t let numbers define your health and fitness
Just be you and tell them to mind their business!

I will read this to my 92 year old mother, Aisha. She says "Age is just a number, too.". Thanks.
