I used to think aging was about
getting older, and of course, it is
indeed. Having acknowledged that,
I must say that aging is about so
much more. For the first time in
my life, there are things I 'get'.
Things make sense because I'm
coming from an entirely different
perspective. Along with the aches
and pains, as well as activities
altered and limited, comes an
unexpected compassion for people,
circumstances, issues. I so wish, as
did my elders before me, that I could
have had a clue, understood more.
Perhaps, 'tis why youth get beauty
and elders get wisdom. Now, I'm
only waiting for that promised
patience to kick in.
gone from bad to worse
why only beauty or brains
when in doubt do both
