Come Grow Wise With Me, The Best Is Yet To Be

As my skin softens and my wrinkles deepen,
May the wisdom
Of my experience
Be seen in my face.

May my eyes grow softer
And be filled with a great knowing.
May they reflect the love
That fills my soul.

May my countenance embody the depth
Of all the emotions
That have shaped my life—
The good and bad,
The happy and sad,
And everything in between that
Has created the beauty of who
I am ever becoming.

May the joy of the dance of life
Be a light that shines from me
And give hope to all who travel this path
Of aging to saging.
