Young And Old - An Amazing Poem

 Young And Old

An Amazing Poem (Anonymous), shared to me which really touched my heart.

​When I was YOUNG,

I was WORRIED about

MY PIMPLES.

When I am OLD,

I am WORRIED about

MY WRINKLES.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I was WAITING to HOLD HER HAND.

When I am OLD,

I am WAITING for SOMEONE to HOLD MY HAND.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I was LONGING to be ALONE.

When I am OLD,

I am WORRIED why

I am ALONE.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I HATED being  ADVISED.

When I am OLD,

there is NO ONE around to TALK or ADVISE.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I ADMIRED BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

When I am OLD,

I see BEAUTY in THINGS around ME.

 

When I was YOUNG

I felt I was ETERNAL.

When I am OLD,

I know SOON it will be MY TURN.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I CELEBRATED the MOMENTS.

When I am OLD

I am CHERISHING MY MEMORIES.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I found it DIFFICULT to WAKE UP.

When I am OLD,

I find it DIFFICULT to  SLEEP.

 

When I was YOUNG,

I WANTED to be a HEART-THROB.

When I am OLD,

I am WORRIED when will MY HEART STOP.

 

At EXTREME STAGES of OUR LIFE,

WE WORRY

but

WE DON'T REALIZE,

LIFE NEEDS to BE EXPERIENCED.

 

It DOESN'T MATTER whether YOUNG or OLD.

LIFE needs to be LIVED

and

LIVED WITH LOVE.
