True Appreciation

    The flower of youth never fades
        though the body depreciates

    Greet cheerfully all who come your way  
        ~ for the smile on your face appreciates

On the inside, we feel the same, it's a mirror thing and rude thing. I 'love' those who aged with smiley-lined faces and 'feel' for those who lines are stuck in a sneer, scowl or sad expression. My aged face will probably reflect confusion! Love to ya ... CayCay

Very nice! Even when I smile at a baby, I wonder if that little one will remember me in heaven :)
