“Aging”
By Ashley O’Hare
Why are we terrified
of growing old?
Are wrinkles not reminders
of a life well lived?
Are birthdays not reminders
of an entire year passing?
Aging is a blessing,
not a curse to be cured.
It is human nature
to grow up.
We are supposed to
live and learn.
Acting half your age
only succeeds
in masking your wisdom.
Embrace your journey.
Trust the process.
