#34 - When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old. Mark Twain

THROUGH OLDER EYES

With my younger days behind me,
I am well passed middle age.
On the journey to tomorrow,
I am closer to the stage
where the newness of the springtime
has evolved into this truth:
Though the winter chill engulfs me,
I prefer it to my youth.
