Aging

Forgive me for staring
At the face looking back
For it is with pride
That I absorb the changes
Growth etched into lines
Over these few years
Wrinkles to hold tears
To carry the smiles
Evidence of lessons
Laughter and joy
Peace calming the skin
The soul settled in
Time to just be
Who we truly are
