The Other Side

As you get older 
Do you see clearer now
Or is it that the clutter is less
Some things that seemed important
Have faded now and I can see
The other side

So peace is the prize 
That greets you for the years
And the aches and pains 
Are the price for this clarity
Smiles come to me easily
And people respond.
