Growing Old With Wrinkles
As the morning sun twinkled
I looked down at my hands
And saw my skin wrinkled.
Looking in the mirror
They were also on my face.
For a while I found wrinkles
Difficult to accept as mine.
In any case I am who I am
And I am not one to whine
Later as I watched the News
An afternoon TV commercial
Advertised a way for them to lose
But that’s not for me to choose
My mother who is 97
With all her wrinkles
As she waits for heaven
I hope to live as long as her
As Christmas approaches I wonder
What Santa Claus thinks about wrinkles?
