Pages Turn

young and strong
confident, knowing, growing
fearless, self assured
conquered much
knowledgeable
vibrant 
I was beautiful

pages turned
years pass

not so young, not so strong
confident, knowing, still growing 
fearless, self assured
conquering much
knowledgeable
vibrant
still beautiful

G'day Timothy … the book of life has many chapters. As we grow I notice we stop growing up and start growing out - I trust you're having a great festive season - Lindsay
