What we value most in life,

the years may change somehow...

What once seemed so important,

may not matter to us now.

For over time we learn and grow,

and find, as we've matured,

The things that mean the most to us,

are those that have endured.

One of the best things

about growing older,

is that we learn to appreciate

the important things in life...

peace of mind,

a sense of fulfillment,

and the caring of those

we hold dear.
