In the quiet moments of a fading dusk,
A mature soul whispers to the night,
Lessons learned, like leaves in the wind,
Gathered gently, with tender insight.

Through the winding paths of time and chance,
A heart grows strong, yet soft and kind,
Embracing flaws with patient grace,
In the mirror of life, wisdom we find.

The storms of youth may leave their scars,
Yet in their wake, resilience blooms,
A garden tended with care and love,
Where understanding and peace resume.

With every sunrise, a seasoned heart,
Awakens to the beauty of the day,
In every shadow, a light revealed,
Guiding the journey along the way.
