The Majesty of Age

Age should be worn like a cloak- A cloak of wisdom, A cloak of kindness, Understanding and compassion, Strength, character and calmness Come with the wearer of this cloak, Years are not wasted with the coming Age is the gathering of wisdom.

I like to think this is true of all older people "A cloak of wisdom, A cloak of kindness,"
