In the mirror's gaze, I meet a stranger's eyes, 
A face once young, now marked by life's surmise. 
Lines etched deep, like rivers carved by time, 
Trace the journey of a soul's relentless climb.

Each day a battle against time's unyielding grasp, 
As youth's sweet bloom fades, slipping from my clasp. 
I cling to memories of days gone by, 
As whispers of age brush gently by.

The mirror reflects a truth I cannot hide, 
As I watch youth's echo slowly subside. 
A body once lithe, now bears the weight 
Of years that pass, relentless in their freight.

I mourn the passing of my youthful guise, 
As wrinkles deepen, and dreams revise. 
For time is a thief, stealing youth away, 
Leaving behind shadows of yesterday.

Yet in the creases, in the lines that bind, 
A story unfolds, of a life well-timed. 
Each wrinkle a chapter, each scar a tale, 
Of resilience found in the face of travail.

I may falter, I may stumble and fall, 
But within me burns a fire, undimmed by the pall. 
For age is but a number, a fleeting decree, 
And in the depths of my soul, I am forever free.

So I embrace the years, the joys, the strife, 
And wear my age as a badge of life. 
For though time may weather, and age may wane, 
The essence of me will forever remain.
