Treasures Of Ageing Poem by Chitra Bisht

I hate wrinkles and greys
Surely so do you
But there's a lot more to ageing
Than these two

Back when I was young
Twas all about how soon, how often
The pace has now, of course changed
Coz these are not the most important

Making up and breaking relations
was a regular thing
Now more of pondering
Much more to think

Emotions created havoc
Tears flew freely
Not anymore
There's soul searching before giving in

I welcome challenges
just like I welcome greys
The treasure of wisdom
has taught me to amend ways

Rivalry and competition
no longer bother me
There's a place for everyone
in this beautiful world of Almighty

Slowing of body and
of mind
Suggests to pause and
appreciate things before tis time

Treasures of wisdom are endless
You are closer to people and God
Letting go becomes easy
You possess a better heart
