Growing Old Gracefully

Growing old gracefully isn't about looking In the mirror every day for a brand new Wrinkle That can't be ironed out like a pair of Pants. To some growing old it is a very traumatic Experience. There are some who don't want the age Lines of time That can't be ironed out like a pair of Pants. We're suppose to grow old gracefully. There are some who don't want the age Lines of time Which are a part of life. We're suppose to grow old gracefully, Live and enjoy the small pleasures Which are a part of life. Go outside Live and enjoy the small pleasures A transformation will occur. Go outside Walk, greet your neighbor, and enjoy Nature. A transformation will occur. To some growing old is a very traumatic Experience. Walk, greet your neighbor, and enjoy Nature. Growing old gracefully isn't about looking In the mirror every day for a brand new Wrinkle.

I love the positivity on growing older. I do get nervous about it, but your poem reminded me to take a step back to see the beauty around you. Thank you!

Thank you. Isabella. I am glad I could help you out on this one. Seeing the beauty, greeting our neighbors, enjoying our children, grandchildren and living in the moment is what life is all about rather than not living it. Thank you for reading it. I hope you have a great day.
