Getting Old

Let us take note.

that it is the old apple trees

that are decked with the loveliest blossoms,

that it is the ancient redwoods

that rise to majestic heights,

that it is the old violins

that produce the richest tones,

that it is the oldest wine

that tastes the sweetest,

that it is the ancient coins,

old stamps and antique furniture

that many eagerly seek,

that it is when the day is old and far spent

that it displays the beauteous colors of sunset,

that it is when the year is old

and has run its course

that Mother Nature transforms

the world into a fairyland of snow,

that old friends are the dearest and that it is the old people who have been loved

by God for a long, long time.

Thank God for the blessings of old age,

its faith, its love, its hope, its patience,

its wisdom, its experience, its maturity.

When all is said and done,

Old Is Wonderful!

God knew the exact moment I needed his hand to gently stroke my head and fill my heart with peace.
