The Older I get the Things I find

      

                  Another year older another strand of gray, the things I am finding
            as time, to swiftly , dwindles away.

             On this journey there have been dear friends that guided me along the way
         little childhood friends, that I spent time with loved and played .

            People that I loved, trusted, cherished and confided now gone with
the wind like grains of sand, how I long to see them and hold their hands.

Mama and daddy talk of their home above, I don't want to lose them I so need their love.

Oh I've lost little babies for my babies are men, and time marches on, I can't go back again.

Oh but there are some things great things that come with time

with each day that passes , oh the great things I find.

I find that with age there is wisdom you only get from living,
being selfish gets you know where you find importance of giving.

You find a silver hair that reminds you of angels wings
how you earned each one, and they mean everything.

Years of experience you now have to share, you have more time
more heart more care.

You may find another line you did not notice before, it reminds you of precious time 
with those who know the score.

Getting older is great as you journey on this land
and I am reminded by a little girl who calls me grand!
