Age diminishes you as a woman… that’s the current theory.
Don’t you tire of all the anti-aging gimmicks… don’t they make you weary?
Why not embrace the gifts that come with age… that’s my advice,
Cherish those lines, admit your age, and don’t even think twice.

Otherwise you’ll be kept from knowing your authentic self forever,
And enjoying all the gifts of wisdom that age brings with each endeavor.
Open your heart to others, be yourself, and experience real joy
Don’t worry what others think or say.. it’s only an empty ploy.

Remember, those who live life solely on the physical plane
Are usually shallow and extremely vain.
They measure worth in terms of youth and beauty,
And find no one attractive unless she’s a young well-endowed “cutie”.

Feel sorry for them, for they’ve missed life’s meaning,
They see no worth in aging… to them it’s only self-demeaning.
They’re blinded by youthful exteriors… it’s true,
They lack the ability to see that age has beauty too.
