Aging gracefully is a beauty to behold,
An appreciation of life that's hard to unfold.
It's not about growing old but growing wise,
And viewing each day through youthful eyes.

As the years pass and the memories grow,
Let each moment be cherished and never let go.
For in time we'll learn to accept the change,
And embrace the wisdom age will bring.

Age is just a number and there's no need to fear,
Knowing every year more strength will appear.
Every wrinkle tells a story, each grey hair brings a smile,
Be proud of where you are and walk confidently for miles.

Cold this morning but the office building is festive.
