As years unfold their silent tales,
A journey marked by winds and sails,
Each wrinkle, a story etched in skin,
A testament to where we’ve been.

The dawn of youth, so bright and bold,
Gradually gives way to days of gold,
In wisdom’s cloak, we find our peace,
As time’s river flows, it grants release.

Through trials faced and lessons learned,
Our hearts with deeper truths are burned,
The folly of youth now gently fades,
Replaced by calm and thoughtful shades.

So let us cherish every year,
Embrace the growth, dismiss the fear,
For in the dance of time’s embrace,
We find our strength, our truest grace.
