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.

Alas, many elderly are set in their ways and determined not to change them . . ..

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