Growing Old

What is the definition of becoming old
It's different for different people, I'm told

Some say it's their age in years
Others don't seem to care

Some are proud of their age and have broadcast since birth
Others wouldn't reveal their age for anything on earth

You're as old as you feel. I heard a wise person say 
Not being sure of the reality, the thought does go a long way 

Our bodies may grow old and feeble
Our souls remain very stable 

Our bodies tend to grow old with age
Our souls grow in wisdom no matter the stage

You are indeed as old as you feel
The key to keeping your soul in God’s will
