When someone asks you

When someone asks you
how old you are,
don’t count the years
you have not loved,
the moments you were
away from home –
Then, look deep inside and
know that the part
of you that has known love,
the areas within you that 
easily melt when you hear
the voice of the beloved ----
is eternal.
