Great Truths on Growing Old

Our aging process is naturally slow,
To give our bodies a chance to grow;
Not to fill us completely all at once,
Maybe just starting us out as a dunce.

Just like a computer when it is new,
We keep loading a program or two;
Allowing the database for to mature,
And seeing the knowledge outpour.

Growing up for us all is mandatory,
As growing old is a fictional story;
Just depends on relating to your zeal,
Determines how old you really feel.

As a teen we think we know it all,
Later knowing it was a thinking flaw;
Wisdom comes over time with age,
After learning how to control our rage.

God gave us such a beautiful gift,
Improving over time for to uplift;
Wisdom and maturity go hand in hand,
When showing respect to His command.
