She embraces with grace
Each wrinkle on her face,
For they represent a life well spent.

Tears and laughter have left their mark,
And the gravity of long living on her body park,
But of not a single moment would she repent.

Of growing even older she has no fear,
Celebrates with joy each brand new year,
More wisely than in youth is her mind now bent.

So rather than rue the passing of the years,
She welcomes them each with no apparent fears,
This precious life on earth to her lent.
