There are many songs and poems about staying forever young. But what does that really mean? Doing foolish things, not a care in the world, playing in the rain, laughing at silly jokes, talking to our friends for hours, listening to music, learning new things, dancing for no reason, playing games, SnapChat all day long, being idealistic….Does staying forever young mean we have to forget all of the ideals and fun we have as we get older? My Brittney sent me a few pictures of the ‘break at work on a rainy day’ that her and Shell took while working for Piggy Polish while they were in High School. It took me back to fun, happy times when there wasn’t a whole lot to worry about or when life seemed, carefree. This is what I want to remember when I think of the beginning of our Piggy Polish story. This is what makes the story of Piggy Polish, real. This is the story of, US.
So, enjoy this snapshot of carefree breaks in the rain, while working at a job you love, and are as carefree as youth should be. “Forever Young”
Let’s dance in style, let’s dance for a while; Heaven can wait, we’re only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever
We don’t have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music’s for the sad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
It’s so hard to get old without a cause; I don’t want to perish like a fading horse
Youth’s like diamonds in the sun, and diamonds are forever;
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don’t they stay young?
So many adventures couldn’t happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true!
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Let’s not forget what it’s like to be young and carefree. Some are a melody and some are a beat. I love breaks on a rainy day at Piggy Polish. I love my ‘girls’. Enjoy every minute of your journey. Stay, forever young.
With love from Grand Haven,
