Older
After developing two rolls of film, and all the pictures showing me as I guess I really am…denial, devastation, realization, and finally acceptance. Fortunately, as an Aquarian I can travel through time and be any age I wish!

When you find you are older
But nothing’s changed inside
You’re still you
You have dreams
You have feelings.
Though my hands are older
And these arms are not as strong
But they can touch
And they can hold
Someone so dear.
Is that my face…I hardly know it
In the mirror I look much better
Through my eyes
I guess I see things differently.
You’d never think someone like me
Could feel so young inside
And yet I do
And so will you
When you get older.
So when you find you are older
And nothing’s changed inside
You’ll still be you
You’ll still have dreams
You’ll still have feelings.
Think of me
And all my dreams
And all my wishes
Then you’ll know
Just what was real
And what was illusion.
