GROWING OLD

May we be blessed to understand
in spite of what many of us are told:
That even though we can’t help growing older
it is not inevitable that we grow old.

I agree...we physically grow older...but our spirits don't necessarily have to....takes works some days, though, when one isn't feeling quite up to snuff :-)
