Here I stand

Here I stand looking into my tired brown eyes,
It doesn’t really come to me as any surprise,
All these new wrinkles, freckles and sun damaged spots,
I even feel more muscle soreness and tension knots.

Here I stand looking back on all the years,
From broken hearts and wasted tears,
Remembering happy moments of all the goals I achieved,
From learning, growing, and to failures before I would succeed.

Here I stand looking at every line and crinkle on my face,
Each one tells a story of past-time place,
From all the experienced whirlwind of emotions,
To all my World travels across all the Oceans.

Here I stand to admire this physical body of mine,
From curves, dimples, scars, wrinkles and every fine line,
There’s more to me than what your eyes can see,
I wear my heart not only on my sleeve but all over me.

Here’s to a life of more adventures and magic to unfold,
I’m learning to honour myself growing majestically old,
Feeling beautiful is more than what’s on the skin,
It’s important to be kind to yourself through thick and thin.

Wild Hearted & Forever Young
