Poem of the Week: Wisdom Earned...

Years of experience in being a human,

Relationships, homes, and bottles of Black Cumin.

To learn how to age with grace and ease,

Only comes with experience and expertise.

With age comes wrinkles, sunspots, and grey,

But age with Love creates a fine cabernet.

Time, experience, and a life full of memories,

Sports and dancing created arthritic extremities.

Every scar, loss, embarrassment or defeat,

Was a gift and blessing that make life so complete.

No regrets when it comes to getting old,

Just strength and courage to stop doing what you're told.

A mastership of lessons during the most difficult chapters,

Rising above defeat or many other factors.

Learning who you are and embracing it all,

No longer giving up power or feeling too small.

Getting older means gaining wisdom and strength,

It is getting up every day instead of going to the tank.

It takes courage to prove to society that you still count,

Elderly have the wisdom that no other can surmount.

Embrace aging and show respect for those who came before,

Old people are the kings and queens of this jungle,

and it's time to hear them roar!
