The Joy of Growing Older

Grace grows where time gently weaves its story.


The angles of life, once sharp and bright,


Now soften with time, bathed in gentle light.


Each passing year a treasure to hold,


A story colored in hues of gold.



The mirror reflects a wiser face,


A canvas of love, of laughter, and grace.


Older we grow, yet younger at heart,


A masterpiece where all seasons play a part.



Through life’s shifting shades, we stand tall,


Embracing the beauty of it all.


Aging with joy, like a timeless song,


Knowing each step has made us strong.
