Ageing

Some grey hairs are peeping out.

Wrinkles and crow바카라™s feet are about to sprout.

I am ageing, I am ageing, I am growing old.

But age is what is making me bold.

My arms and legs are becoming weak.

Doctor바카라™s advice I sometimes seek.

I am ageing, I am ageing, I am becoming worn out.

But age is making me aware

of what I want without a doubt.

My body doesn바카라™t work the same way.

I tire out fast at the end of the day.

I am ageing, I am ageing, I am fatigued fast.

But age is making me smarter,

my brain is becoming anti-rust.

Fairness Cream

Why so many creams to make my face fair?

Why don바카라™t they make creams to make my heart fair?

Why don바카라™t they dare?

Fairness cream to make us shine.

Make us beautiful in a line.

Don바카라™t they make creams to sparkle the mind?

Don바카라™t they make lotions to make the heart just and kind?

Fairness cream to make us dazzle.

With a fair face fitting in the jigsaw puzzle.

Don바카라™t they make creams to sharpen our brains?

Don바카라™t they have lotions

to have kindness blood flow in arteries and veins?

Fairness cream to make us glow.

To make us the showstopper in the show.

Don바카라™t they make creams to make our heart accept all?

Don바카라™t they make lotions to help others when they fall?

Fairness cream to make us resplendent.

To make us attractive at every bend.

Do make creams to make a happy heart.

Do make lotions to stop all poison darts.

Ageing Is Fun

Years are being added to my life.

A doting mother and a devoted wife.

The days of hop, skip and jump have gone.

I feel breathless when I have to run.

Negativities which pierced me and hurt me before.

Are just like dust now and I sweep them out of the door.

Good and kind people who help me in need.

I cherish them and plant them in my heart

like a happiness seed.

I am ageing, I am ageing, I am getting old.

But insecurities have fallen off and I have become bold.

Grey hairs are popping up here, there and everywhere.

But no longer am I scared of weaknesses to share.

I wear clothes more for my comfort and style then fashion.

New things I do now with so much more passion.

I try to treasure every beautiful moment of time.

My hunger for goodness has gone,

now I know the good and bad rhyme.

I am ageing, I am ageing, I am becoming old.

But it is a lovely age to understand imitation from gold.

Everything is clear now, all that was vague.

I now can avoid plastic people like plague.

A new type of freedom has set in my mind.

A new type of confidence which is hard to find.

My skin is getting wrinkles and it dries up fast.

But I regurgitate and enjoy memories of the past.

With exposure and experience I am so much more refined.

Different cultures and arts attract me now as they are more defined.

I have become thirsty to learn new things every day.

I want to support and help others in my small way.

All responsibilities coming to an end.

Reaching out like a banyan root and finding new friends.

I want to make all around me happy and to them joy give.

Until death comes I want to always live.
