Life's Sweet Tale Retold

As youth’s bright flame slowly fades to gray Time’s hand weaves its threads of silver hue Each dawn’s the same, we count another day Our memory cleaves, and aging faces view Yet with the years, comes wisdom’s gentle grace Experience, a gift, well worth the cost Wrinkles and fears, stories etched upon each face Our spirits lift, in memories embossed We may grow old, but love remains the same In tender hearts, it’s flame forever burns Through trials so bold, life’s ever-shifting game Our friendship starts, and loyalty, it earns So let the years advance, let them unfold For growing old is life’s sweet tale retold

A very touching sonnet, Andy, yes growing older is sometimes hard but the road of memories is worth it~
