In silence I will stand

How Old?

How old?

I was asked a while back ...

"How old are you really?"

Then I asked myself the same question.

"How old am I?"

I am old enough to know better, 

yet young enough to still want to explore.

I am old enough to have gained the experience,

yet young enough to still put it to the test.

I am old enough to have gained wisdom,

yet young enough to hunger for more.

I am old enough to have lived a full life,

but young enough to live the rest.
