Bugging Gray Hair
Labeled as natural aging design
Popularly the so-called wisdom sign
Gray hair surprise-appearance
Bugs me with sweet endurance
Age-wise, to such fact, my mind can’t resign.
Peeping like silver strand jewelry
Defying my youthful look’s victory
Gray hair announces with pride
My blest maturity-stride…
I welcome with beauteous dyeing’s glory*.
*Proverbs 16:31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
