Wrinkled Treasure

Time has carved those wrinkles with precision on that once flawless beautiful face….. Embedded in each line are so many stories…… Each line around the lips depicts those countless smiles and frowns……. Around the contours of eyes and inside those hopeless eyes are hidden so many tears and glances….. Seems as if time has come to a halt in the folds of that forehead…. Just take a look at that wrinkled face….. The beauty of wisdom in it now surpasses all the beauty it once had… Indeed a treasure to be treasured…. But we careless beings leave this treasure in lonely homes and in old age homes……. Remember the loss is ours…. For they have already endured the chisel of time……. But it’s we who are yet to go through that ordeal…
