Growing Older Is A Blessing

After a certain age, there is a new spring Before the abrupt coming of summer Growing more mature or older is a blessing Experience is golden and it lasts forever. Wine gets better with the years Cheese has a tendency to follow The same path. Have no fears Shed no tears, and listen to the crow. Being older or more mature is a blessing Life is made of countless steps and seasons Growing older brings more styles and reasons. Enjoy every second of life, be wise and strong Sit tight, rock the chair, and listen to the song That won't go away: being older is a blessing. P.S.
