Growing older
Is a privilege
Not to be old
But to be…
Older
To have the opportunity
And the time
To branch out
In different directions
To succeed
To fail
To learn
And best of all…
To love
A life filled with love
Is a life well lived
Things collected
Thoughts
Beliefs
Skills
And experiences
Are the roots
Ever expanding
And stabilizing
Your very existence
You push up
And out
To get more
Out of life
Until you can push
No more
What you leave behind
Is a monumental testament
To who you were
And how many
You touched
