The Aging Pages
~~~*~~~
In the aging pages of my past
I find much to be thankful for
Not that these days are my last
I plan on living many more
~~~*~~~
Each memory is but a page
Each year a mere chapter
My age will not hold me back
I’ll not allow it to be captor
~~~*~~~
Leafing back through the book
I see my character grow
Once simply an empty vessel
Now much more I know
~~~*~~~
Each event is filed away
But among them no regret
They have taught me lessons
Which I will not forget
~~~*~~~
My cover may be getting worn
But not yet ready for the shelf
Within my sheets there is wisdom
There’s more to this volume of self
~~~*~~~
My last chapters are unfinished
As once were the ones before
Much is left to be written
About this day and many more
~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~
