"These wrinkles are the hands of time,The journeys I’ve been on They’ve seen me through a thousand days,And ev’ry victory won These fragile hands, With exposed bones,Are not a fearful sight But rather, they, my faithful partners,Rocked babies through the night These eyes are weak, They see much less,Than yours they’ve seen much more They’ve guided me through birth, through death,Through grief, through hurt, through war These ears can hear so very little,Yet they’ve learned to listen much They perk up not for gossip now,But for a heart to touch Those younger often look my way,With pity looks to give Yet this old body doesn’t mean I am dying,But rather, that I have lived"
