Ravages Of Time

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.

    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.
