Aging

Looking in the mirror at the face before me, I notice a line or two I didn't notice the day before

I notice a few extra gray strands of hair, a waistline that has slightly increased


Laugh lines around the mouth that are more prominent now
Appearance still younger than years, aging gracefully, still young at heart
