Aging (poem) - Amy Grant

Amy Grant, during an interview, shares a poem she wrote on aging:

It occurred to me this morning, as I washed this face of mine
How quickly come the changes with a little passing time
A wrinkle here, a hair turned grey, a not so lilting step
I see me getting older, but I don't quite feel it yet

At times I nearly feel my age, at others I'm 16
So full am I of all the thoughts and feelings in-between

Who could have known the road of life would twist and turn so much
The journey makes me strong and weak and tender to the touch
And so today I face the choice that I have faced each day
Will I be open, teachable, unafraid of change

Yes, I'll embrace this moment
Forgive my past mistakes
Realize just showing up is sometimes all it takes
And I'll look for the kind of beauty that time cannot erase
Wisdom and experience resting on each face
