At age twenty-six
Nature's progress felt so cruel
Waning days of youth
Seriously though,
The Rolling Stones had it right
Time is on my side
When young, life was fine
At the time, I thought it great.
Now, I know better
Insecurities,
Worries about the future
All seem silly now
Life is for living
Accept who you want to be
No apologies
Breasts, they will descend
Cellulite will grace one's thighs
But smile lines deepen
Kiss the one you love
With your lips and with your words
Each day is a gift
Twins, they bring laughter
Inspire pride and thanks to God
Family life so full
So bring on wrinkles
And magnifying glasses
Mom jeans? Maybe not...
Thoughts on 46?
Excited, grateful, gleeful
Aging happily!
