Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you if you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way...
maymie dearest, oh i should've started listening more to you back when i was five! your words have more wisdom than all others' combined.
thank you for not giving up on your daughters (since there are two of us and well, "daughters" are more difficult to handle than "sons"), cooking for us and taking time to tie our shoelaces and hair ribbons. if i had the chance to live over again and pick the mother i wanted, you'd win hands down. i thank God that He chose me to be your child, and guess what, you'll always be my baby.
happy mother's day to my maymie and my grandmother who add colour and spunk to my life. i love you both with all my heart.
Don't you know that it's worth
Every treasure on earth to be young at heart
For as rich as you are
It's much better by far to be young at heart
And if you should survive to a hundred and five
Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
