I tapped my toe
while the little man sang
Frank Sinatra's words,
they go something this way
"For it's hard you will find
to be narrow of mind
if you're young at heart"
As I pondered those words
I felt a little absurd
many must feel
I have an elderly heart
With the heart being center
of any decision
I feel that creates
way too much derision
Often we regret that part
Nobody wants to admit it
Yet we finally get it  
stumble and tumble
when life falls apart
All because
we followed the advice
When you are among
the very young at heart
So never forget
to take your brain with you
not just words in songs
Keep your head on straight
consequences continue
things sometimes go wrong
Remember your virtues
I know all you really wanted
was to follow your heart
