… those blessed little creatures will always find a way to remind us that we matter….
Matters of the heart care not whether young or old—
A yearning for love, desire to be wanted, longing to be needed
A rekindling of joyful moments long ago gone cold…
Analogy for Aging
Aging—an ever-changing presence
Mirrors life’s essence
The view atop a mountain’s peek
Echoes not a single word
Music of a baby’s first cry—
Sweetest solo ever heard
Ocean waves during a storm
Crest majestically on their own
Vision of a child’s first steps—
Rocking and reeling, never alone
Fiery aura of dusk and dawn
Casts brilliant hues with every view
Youth’s outlook on love and life—
Promising, yet demanding debut
Natural ambiance of early spring
Unleashes new living entities
Expressive power of a young adult—
Racial, ethical identities
Falling leaves of autumn
Whirl whimsically through the air
Age of midlife crisis—
Unsettled over graying hair
Time for sweet reflection
Sets inner smiles aglow
Twilight years of old age—
Wisdom youth should know

“Aging is an inevitable process.
I surely wouldn’t want to grow younger.
The older you become, the more you know;
your bank account of knowledge is much richer.”
—William M. Holden (Author, n.d.)
