Ravages of time
I see it in the mirror
Wrinkled, grey and thin
Underneath it all I’m young
Still childlike in my mind
This shell is just that–
A shell, weather-worn with age
To be discarded
But this is not the real me
Only a facade that I show the world

Is curiosity being child-like?
It’s not the age, but the miles and the interesting stories gathered on the way.
How very true, you are right.
I so relate. I just had my drivers license picture taken……. the last one was 10 years go. I look SOOOOO old.
My drivers license picture is now 13 years old and I now realize how dark and how much hair I had at the time…it’s funny how that happens.
A perfect description!
I tried…glad you liked it.
