He says she’s growing older,

And they say so,

Inevitably so are the speakers,

Age is just a number,

You can do wonders,

As long as you’re wide awake

From the deepest slumber.

 

Does it even matter what they say?

If all your senses can help you

In achieving your life’s purpose,

There’s no point counting your days

In the form of age in years

Don’t forget, you are drawn closer

To your deathbed with the

Passage of each day.

 

You can’t stop from growing old,

From letting your age run,

How does it matter what they say?

Aren’t those taunts serving as

Reminders to love yourself a little more,

No matter how old you’ve turned up,

As if for men, their age reverses with years.

 

If sixteen was sweet for them,

So is turning forty, for you,

Or even sixty, for that matter,

With each decade, you’ll discover,

A newer and wiser version of you,

Facing the world with years of experience

And audacity which you might feel,

Within you, that never existed before.

 

Age is just a number,

Number of years of your presence; mortal,

An amalgamation of varied experiences gathered,

Over different situations or circumstances,

And you’ve seen and felt it all,

Not letting your age run isn’t in your control,

Until the day when that

Number will just linger.
