As Age Goes By

things are never they used to be the courage I once had that wins admiration by others now turns to prudence and cautiousness that makes some think cowardice the urge to be the center of all now content in being in the background silent but of help effective yet other doesn't mind my mind says make me believe i still have it but then he command this vessel what to do as hard as he tried the body works harder - it fails yet sometimes it triumph with a glimps of our past the tumultuous wave of the sea had turn into soothing and steady flows like of the lake stubbornness, folly and energy had turn into wisdom, patience and humility as age goes by things are never the same again and yet in the end fulfillment is ours if we handle ourselves with dignity, pride and grace
