Another birthday has come and gone <br />And now there are 94 years of wisdom <br />Instead of 93. <br />If only someone could appreciate <br />The dimming eyes that have witnessed <br />More history than any textbook could capture <br />Or the gnarled hands, wrinkled with age, <br />That have held new and dying life, <br />Or the incandecsent smile <br />Which hasn't changed a bit <br />Even after all these years.<br /><br />Lynne Crandall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/age-22/
