The gray hair was
making an unceremonious appearance
and the occasional wrinkle
smeared on her face
whenever she smiled
The thoughts were brightened
anger was much in her control
life was deprived of drama
and quip was more sensible
for she was gradually stepping
toward her older being
sure she was growing wise
because of senescence

May we continue to ‘step gradually’ towards senescence – sometimes it feels a rush.
Growing old charm is such a beautiful concept!

I know – it is easier said than time. Time is a sifting sand from hand
