Maturity

Age falls over us like a shroud

That dims the vision of the mind!

It upheaves the lines of age

And softens the strength of movement

But if does not destroy the will!

It is a time of erudite thought

And the judgement of wisdom

Which is the mark of maturity

In a world of youthful adoration!

Sense and sensibility must prevail

Or the world will break

Into pieces of chaos and stupidity!

Maturity!
