Aged Like...All too often old age seemsLike a cruel joke Played on people who have paid their dues, And deserve better. Old age should not be Like approaching an expiration date, Fading, shriveling, souring into decay. Aged milk can sour Or transform into delicious cheeze. Wine can degrade into vinegar, Or age into sophistication and vitality. What's the secret? What's the magic? With age comes wisdom, So in mind and heart we can transform. How might human physical health Shift from degradation To transformation? |
