Hello!

I see you.

Slowly,

Making your appearance.

Loudly,

Declaring your existence.

Unbeknownst you creep,

Every time I laugh or weep.

You come like an uninvited guest,

And stay put, ignoring one's unrest.

Your presence declares so much,

Without even uttering a word,

About the struggles one went through,

About the pains and sufferings which ensued.

You are a token of approval,

For one's experience through trials.

I guess, now, it is worthless to fret,

For you have nestled your feet,

Around my eyes, and around my lips,

On my forehead and on the chin's tip.

So, wrinkles, I welcome you,

And, yes, hello to you too.
