We’re all getting older
Day by day
Relentlessly
But how we age
Is something
We can influence
We can become
Doddering old farts
Living on memories
Or feed our minds
Every day
With new information
Using this new data
To arrive
At new conclusions
Discarding the old
Like unwanted
Garbage
Looking at the world
Around us
With open minds
Seeing beauty
And promise
In the ordinary
Finding pleasure
Even in
The small things
Marveling at
Our capacity
To stay young
