With eyes that see beyond the veil of time,
A heart that bears both joy and pain,
Wisdom flows like an endless rhyme,
In silence, strength and grace remain.

Through storms of life, they calmly sail,
With patience as their guiding light,
They listen more than they regale,
And walk with kindness in the night.

The scars they wear, a badge of pride,
For every tear, a lesson learned,
Their spirit, deep and open wide,
In every corner, respect earned.

They know the value of a friend,
And cherish moments, pure and true,
Their journey, never seeks an end,
Forever growing, ever new.
