My Take-Write an acrostic about some acquaintance. (Since this is creative writing, you are free to interpret 'acquaintance' as loosely as you choose..My Youth

Youth

She cried out,
“Youth, where did you go?
Give me another chance,
I really miss you so.”

And her Youth called back,
“I’m still in your heart,
nothing can change that,
or keep us apart.

Your body may age,
but I never will,
I’m part of your spirit,
I’m ever so real.

When you giggle at something
or dance in the rain,
when you make
wishes on a dandelion,
remember you are the same
person you were decades ago,
I still live inside you
and go where you go.

Just don’t stop looking
at life like a child,
with excitement and wonder,
and your spirit so wild.

*For Youth is not a phase
that simply goes away,
it is a gift you were given
and in your heart it always stays*🩷
