The Gray

When I got my first gray hair, I shrieked to the sky
Ran to the store and got some hair dye
But as time went by, I pondered my face
Why do I deny what's taking place
I've learned that I earned each hair that is there
If it means that i'm old then who really cares
All the worries and stress that life threw my way
I took head on and the dust blew my way
Changing to gray means I won the day
Each one is a medal i'm proud to display.
