Age

Aged years come quick.

Just an earnest fact—

Just what will come of dear ‘ol me

When senescence attacks?

Before you really know it 

You’ve wasted all your youth.

This motivates me every day

To search and seek the truth.

Failure is a feature it’s the

Only way to grow.

Failure is the only way

To know we need to know.

I’d really rather fade than age.

To simply disappear,

Seems a kinder way to go.

And not something to fear.

But oh, to have the wisdom that

Collected years provide.

Is wisdom wasted on the old?

Or age upon the wise?

    Great questions at the end? I think we as a society don’t value those who are a bit further along in the journey as much as previous societies do, which is a bit of a shame.

        I agree! But hopefully someone is on the way to mending those bridges so we can learn. 😊

    I think society is always waiting on someone else to save them and no one wants to take the agency to do it themselves. Part of what I am doing is my way of doing it myself.
