What is age? Do you really think I know the answer?
Age is the cracked trunk of an ancient tree my parents once passed by.
It’s the worn stones on an old cobblestone street, the quiet creak of a wooden floor beneath your steps.
It’s the neighbor’s children who were tiny just yesterday, yet somehow now stand two heads taller than you.
Age is discovering a new taste in the same cup of coffee you’ve been drinking for thirty years — only now noticing its richness.
Some people will say age is nothing more than wrinkles and gray hair.
But that’s nonsense. That’s only the surface.
Age lives deeper — in the mind and in the heart.
Age is waking up in the morning and whispering,
“Thank you, Lord, for letting me open my eyes today.”
For legs that still carry me,
for a heart that continues to beat,
for joints that still bend,
and for ears that can still hear my favorite music.
Age is the moment you find yourself smiling more freely than a spoiled child —
because at last you understand the true value of this life.
