An old woman staring
into a mirror of time
a young girl looks back
eager for the climb
As age flakes off an old face
wisdom to impart
how to navigate life
to prosper and not fall apart
You are beautiful
a soul wonderfully made
pay attention to no one
with words that degrade
Love your neighbor
costs nothing to be kind
smile and encourage
but do not be blind
Do not compare
your life is a journey
truth behind other lives is hidden
their soul may be rotting on a gurney
Make time to dance
in the rain and wind
through life’s thunderstorms
the season will end
Keep moving forward
giving love and joy
leave without regret those who are mean
you are not a toy
Life is an adventure
happiness is a choice
enjoy it in abundance
protect others with your voice
Always be grateful
have a full heart
blessings are abundant
from the start
Time to fly away
journey to the next place
your soul is eternal
filled with grace
