Talk About Aging

You want me to talk about aging, But my bones are still holding true My fingers, elongated, and now, a wedding ring Yes, I'm still in my twenties, it's true. But I remember when I was three feet tall And the world was as small as I... But now I have: a husband to hold my hand, A Bachelors degree, a new home, a new sky. So now, let's talk about aging Though my hair's still silky and gold, My eyes see things I never could before And soon- my arms- a baby to hold... Yes, let's talk about aging How a girl becomes a wife How a wife becomes a mother... And it changes her world, her life. **For the Aging Contest Written June 6, 2019**

Time goes by so quickly. Nice write Juli. "Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone- as though we had never been here." (Psalm 103:16)

Yes, even you are aging, my dear! you have the 40's to look forward to now. That is a very good decade, speaking from experience. Can't say as much good after 60. hahaha. GREAT poem about the beginning of adulthood.
