' I Bow Before Beauty... ' Poem by MoonBee Canady

I Bow Before Beauty
The Beauty Of Age … (Prov.20: 29)
For Age, Is A Survivor
Age, Is Sage-Unafraid

Age, Means You Made It
Age, Means You’re A Success,
if Your Age Comes With Knowledge
And Graceful Progress

Age, Should Be Prudent
Age, Is At Stake
But, There Is More To Age
Than Life-Savings, In A Bank

Age, Is Not Just The Wrinkles
Age, Is Not Just Gray Hair
Age, Is Not Just Bent Over
With Burdens – Age Bear

Age, Is A Warrior
Age, Is Wary
Like The Experience Of Each
Mature Age, May Vary

Age, Is Not Just Crow’s Feet
Age, Is Every Footstep
and Every Last Chance-Dance
Each One More Adept

Age, Is Vintage
Age Knows – Age Grows
More Precious, Than Antiques
Is An Old-Caged-Soul

Youth, Is Wasted On The Young
That Saying, Is Sometimes True
For Age, Is Full of Regrets …
‘ I Can Tell You! ’

And If You’ve Managed To Make It Thus Far,
Cheating Death
You’re More Aware Of The Time,
You Have Left

For There Are Some Tombstones
On Premature-Graves
Didn’t Make It To Age
(Their Survivors, Be Brave!)

So, If You See Me On A Bus, Subway
or Plane – Giving A Hand (Lev.19: 32)
I’m Bowing Before Beauty
and Not Just An Old Woman or Old Man …
