As a young woman imagination softened hard edges of reality cutting away at my expectations with deep gouges of perplexity Now of an age that the rose has faded from my glasses and vexation holds hands too often with understanding At last a few gray strands of wisdom comforting me with knowing that whatever will be will be LGR(C)9/1/12 |

I discovered that gem of life's lesson not too many years ago myself, Lori. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

What a contrast, your first verse and your last verse. But that's just the way it is. With age comes wisdom, AND a lot of other stuff too. We can only welcome it, cause it's part of who we are, and it ain't going away... Such insight you have young lady. And expressed so well. Enjoyed the read!! JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

At last a few gray strands of wisdom comforting me with knowing that whatever will be will be We need some sort of compensation... for you're right... aging is not for the faint hearted! LOL I love this... especially the image of vexation and understanding as mismatched companions. Great write! |
