Age with Grace
The sun is setting on youth,
the mellowing of autumn has set in,
as the fresh dewiness of spring fades;
Its demise is undeniably absolute,
its march inevitable to many’s chagrin,
although they whish to play a charade.
The mirror does not lie,
the truth is before your eyes.
why must it be a tragedy?
It is just the normal progression of age.
Is it truly and unmitigated travesty?
Or have we been conditioned to see, disparage.
I refuse to be one more in this tragicomedy,
instead, I will enjoy the changes at every stage.

No need to give up anything just learn moderation, its time. We should now know when to say enough. Thanks for the comment Strider.

I think I would have to agree with you Magda, that way we would have to focus more on the person within verses the outward image. Thanks for reading.

Dear Gypsy Red, Might I quote from Zeno, Greek Philosopher 300 BC: "The goal of life is living in agreement with nature. A well written poem ...

Absolutely, I agree with that quote,it is up us to see the glass half full rather than half empty, the positive instead of the negative. When that is achieved we will find peace within ourselves and acceptance.Thank you Bruce for stopping by and leaving this wonderful comment.
