My skin now starting to sag and droop
Hides the truth of young resiliance
The wrinkles playing at my eyes and mouth
Tell the tale of laughter always getting me through the tough times
The grey hair tumbling about my face
Still surprises me, where did the time go?
My forehead all speckled with sun spots
Tell the tale of great times spent outside
Teeth, once white, now starting to yellow
Says good food and much red wine enjoyed
Blue eyes that sparkle and shine
Tell the tale of life still laughing and living
Love it. The part about being surprised by the grey hair… so true.
Thank you for the comment. It is surprising seeing the body age…still 21 in my mind!
Awesome poetry relating your life thru your facial features. Words ring true to me as well. Well composed, my friend.
