Aging

6-25-17

The beauty that comes from
getting older
is knowing I don't have to try
to push myself up so many mountains
just to prove a point.
Aging removes some of the
most physically demanding
options anyway, allowing me
to wisely be
cautiously selective. And don't
think I don't take
advantage of that, or
I must be unaware of
how thankful my body
expresses its relief.
The race of life belongs
to the youth;
the strategy
lies in knowing it's time
to stop.
