Gifts
Wrinkles are time's gifts The footprints of its passage Erased by death's winds ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

Profound, beautifully written thoughts here, Larry...wow....But you made me laugh with your comment:
QUOTE We are all, if we live long enough, going to have them so instead of having face lifts until you wind up with a belly button as a dimple on your chin; cherish them as a sign that you made it through another year without having dirt thrown in your face. I can also relate to Robin's wish about Time allowing us to 'pass' the pain and failing eyesight of age.... geez. For my part, I'm terrified of all surgery, including dental, so I'll not be having any but the absolutely necessary surgery to stay alive! Your positive attitude echoes the respect shown for the elderly by Japanese & Chinese civilizations (tho' they've been slightly 'contaminated' by various western ideas..). Maybe the global crisis will change that, no money for any luxuries! Thanks for sharing this lovely piece, Syl*** ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
