You Do Not Get Older, You Get Better Poem by Sari Mavi

Energy, good health, quickness, and
More are gifts of the young
They are generally not valued
at that early age,
They are traits taken for granted

With age, the impulsivity of youth is tamed, and
Wise decisions replace those made in
Haste based on more shallow tenets

Maturity and wisdom gained
From the experience of living
Allow the individual to make proper choices that
Lead to a successful life

Enjoy life to the fullest now,
But remember, with living well
As a person ages, youth begin to
Recognize what is important in life

With all the benefits earned
From a long and fulfilled life
Both physically and mentally, you will age gracefully
You don't get older, you get better
