Growing old does not diminish who we are…
We have lived through many heartaches and sorrows…
Many happy encounters and love…
We have seen our children grow….
And have received the greatest gift of all, “Being grandparents”…
There’s no set itinerary any more…
Just many hours for ourselves…
Just because our skin starts to get course and wrinkle…
And our bodies round and plump…
Doesn’t diminish who we are and where we’ve been…
We have lived a full life…
And now it is time to sit back and let others do for us…
Let There be Peace on Earth
