TIME'S PENDULUM by GRACE O. BOLSTAD

First Line: MAY WE AGE SLOWLY
Last Line: MELLOW AND MORE BEAUTIFUL.
Subject(s): AGING;
May we age slowly
Like a piece of rare old wood,
Which, after years of contacts,
Emerges satin-smooth
With the fine grain of the years
Accenting the knots;
And its growth-rings richer,
Mellow and more beautiful.
