I find that age sits well on me
As I didn’t have beauty to lose
My trophies wrinkles and grey hairs
I flaunt them, my badges of pride
Farther away from young yearning
Each new year another journey
My youth was enjoyed but not striking
Age lead me to greater and better
So I settle for peace not excitement
As age shows more on my skin
My years are a welcome companion
They bring me comfort, warm wisdom.
