GRAYING YEARS


by: Michael Dubina


Graying years can be unkind
To gifts of body, heart and mind,
For graying years like waves at sea
Can wash away what used to be.

But we find strength, to live each day
With gifts that are not washed away
And we survive, the spoils of time,
With prayers of faith that soothe decline.

We learn to better keep and use
Each gift of life we do not lose
And better care, to make our way
Through years of challenge and dismay.

With truer faith and wiser minds,
We fight against ill fates of time
And with the Graces, God concedes
We learn to live with fewer needs.
