The essence of us.
This aging body I wear is not mine But a most gracious gift In mid-life I was provided with a body svelte I strolled boldly, that younger body I felt Ah, in youth I was given a body golden Young, vibrant, invincible surely, I thought Thru the phases of my life My bodies, gifts to use Only the gleam within my eyes Has been truly mine Throughout this time Enabling motility for my soul When I am no more The bodies that have protected the soul of me Shall be returned And I will be as before The gleam, within the eyes of me

What an exquisite and vibrant write!
Age is age, so it goes, every turn an adventure with a thousands opportunities for a chuckle at self. The other day the kid said her friends thought I was 20 so I go, did you tell em how mommy threw out her back sneezing and popped a blood vessel in the eye coughing? ;) lol I love aging, it's a giggle~fest!
