In the mirror, a familiar face
Yet lines and creases take their place
A testament to laughter and tears
Growing older, shedding fears

Once a sprinter, now a walker
Conversations with newfound talkers
Stories shared with youthful ears
Embrace the change through the years

Glasses perched upon the nose
Reading menus with squinting prose
A chuckle at the changing sight
Aging brings its own delight

Memories like treasures unfold
In the heart, forever bold
With every year, a story told
Finding humor in growing old
