Aging Gracefully
Aging
gracefully
starts with being
loved
as a child.
The scrapes and hugs
blend into a smoothness of
being in the world.
Aging gracefully
continues
as
a young person
respecting
both that yes more
is to be learned and seen
but willingness is taking the road
with firm steps of faith.
Steadiness
in the middle years
adds grace
to meals and car rides and
nights spent sitting by a child’s side
while
the old(er) years
finally see that
being in the world is
being in our world
of changing
leaves
and rising clouds with
passing winds in changing
lights of days and nights.
Aging gracefully
is
the breathing of the passing of our seasons.

Commentary
as i mentioned yesterday, in the commentary to my poem, grandma, this week, i post a review of an article from the himalayan institute on aging
the article is titled, “aging gracefully” and the title has seemed like a pesky if beautiful butterfly refusing to be content with flitting around and about me, til i penned this poem 
[ note added 032012, "aging gracefully" article currently only available in "nice thing 'bout getting old(er)" ]
just goes to show, as the article tomorrow will point out, emotionally internalizing our intellectual leanings, is, a challenge -
and, as i often like to remind myself, a process
namaste´- con dios – god be with you
