white hair

NafisaSB

White hair

A little girl of two or three

As innocent as only she could be

Looked at my salt and pepper

And quietly asked me –

Why is your hair so white

Are you really that old ?

My granny has such black hair

Which in a bun she does hold..

 

I found her too young to explain

That I did not mind if I looked plain

Cos’ I had confidence that paid no heed..

So I, such frills, did not need.

How many of us find age a bane

And try to colour our lovely mane

Outward appearances do count of course

But why not let Nature take its course

So even if old age takes its toll

Let the days happily roll

Always be positive, each and every day

Just Enjoy yourself,  come what may

    So very true Nafisa, strangely my partner and I were talking about this last night after seeing something on the television about changing the way you look.

    I have a philosophy in life:

    "This is me if you do not like what you see that is your problem, not mine"

    My partner feels the same and to me she is beautiful all the time.

      that's the spirit, my friend. this will not only prevent heartbreak, but will make you immune to barbs about your age. i firmly believe that you are as young as your heart is - not the body..and i find so many on this site are senior citizens living a positive and happy life, and making the best use of their time
      so cheers to us, may we always have reasons and seasons of smiles to see us through the pathway of life

      Aging gracefully is the true beauty of our journey. My mother calls it wisdom hair 🌹
