Make Me Young
Reverse Progressions of my DNA
Make me young
Freeze my organs and lungs
Embed my body in amber
or in decades find my words on a page
Make me young
Turn back the clock of my days
Rewind the time
Recite your lines
Restart the play
Make me young
Unspring what has sprung
No longer set in my ways
Some things will go
Some things will stay
Make me young
And when my time has begun
A few thoughts will be different
And others unchanged
Even as memories fade
Make me young
Untwist the age of my tongue
Reverse progressions of my DNA
But let it be known
Pain is okay
If lessons remain
Make me young
