Turning old
is like finding gold.
With the passing of each New
Year,
We grow,
we change,
we stay the same
and celebrate that we are
still here.
In friends we see
reflection.
From mirrors we find
introspection.
And time is a gilded renewal.
And with each new aging day
we find a way
to reinvent,
remember time well spent
anxiously watching,
excitedly dreaming
about what we’ve been told.
And hopefully
playing, loving, living,
we add carats to our weight
watching
the precious medals
of life unfold.
