Graceful Ageing
Way back I thought it was a drag,
suddenly it came to be my fate
then I realized what a joy
it is to be grayed.
And so peace came
in to settle,
taking its
place in
me.
How proudly I carry my gray hair
seeing how dignified I am now.
A wise fellow I have in
my later life become.
An embodiment of
wisdom I am
called by
those in
need.
