Ageing

I bid farewell to
the brash carnival of youth
and await the peace                     
that follows on from mellow 
age for all who earn that gift.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
