Old

What is old
But learning to
Be patient with our
And others’ failure to
Achieve our goals in life,
Forgiveness heals this
Disappointment but
Only if we include
Ourselves as
We too often
Are our own
Worst critic so
Gentle reader try to
Look again deeper to read
Good character in your
Self and in others
Who are like you
Beneath the
Surface,
The heart
Never
Too
Old to
Love hope
Share smile embrace
Passionately life
Forever young.
I heard an
Adult
Daughter
Lecture at table,
Mother your hair is
Entirely too dark for
A woman of your age
Causing her mother and
I to burst into laughter
As we know old is
Not age-specific
But rather an
Attitude
Time
Will
Adjust.
