UNCERTAIN AGE

Age is just a number,
But wisdom identifies one’s act.
Age reveals a long living,
Wisdom clarify one’s learning .
it's the nature of life

Don’t uncertainly declare,
For it is not a liar…
It’s always right.
Age can’t be cheated,
But some people are mendacious to themselves.
The time is set when we are born,
There is no bargain.

And the truth is the mark.
Stay forever young as you said,
While your wrinkles get’s deeper.
Maybe it’s a count down show,
50,40,30,20.down low is like.
age asked a question,
And hair answered.
From black to brown to white,
But the grey smiles at age.
