Why are we afraid to get old
Why are we afraid of wrinkles
If we are all going to the same place
If they show signs of wisdom
Or scars of simply being alive
Isn’t it funny
How all our lives
We are being advertised
That getting old is a curse
When it’s simply the way life works
What is youth anyways?
It’s inexperience
It’s feeling lost
It’s trial and error
And it’s lack of maturity
I mean our faces were full of collagen
But our hearts were confused
The stretch marks, the darks spots, the knees that crack, the childbirth scars
Aren’t they all proof that we are alive?
That we have made it through all these years
Let’s celebrate getting older
Let’s celebrate being able to give advice to the younger ones
Let’s celebrate the wisdom we have acquired throughout the years
If there is one thing we should be worried about getting older
Is keeping our heart pure
Free of resentment, bitterness and jealousy
It says a lot when you meet an older person
And his or her eyes still twinkle
The hope, love and kindness are still alive in them
No matter what life puts them through

Hi
Welcome to my mind, in here you will find poems I write in the middle of the night, skincare advice from a beauty specialist and maybe faith based articles.
My brain is a world of crazy ideas, poems and deep thoughts.
Enjoy!
