TO AGE WITH GRACE

June 30, 2008 · 1 Comment

I walk in the youth of my old age
In a time when young men
Seek out older women
I shake my head back and forth
Not able to comprehend their reasoning
I am not yet ancient, but surely old enough
To have no longing to reach back two generations
To steal a kiss
Integrity
Dignity
Honor
Respect
Such words fill my head and my heart
Keeping a smile on my face
As my walk remains straight and true

    I love this one! It still blows my mind why I am approached by men half my age. But honestly, I can see why they approach you!
