It’s not that the ups and downs go away.
But with time
You may notice that some things
don’t matter that much anymore.
What you did. What you said. What people think.
The meaning of some things you didn’t understand can becomes clearer.
If there’s something you always wondered about,
The question
If not now then when? Looms larger.
Of course you may also notice your joints and creaking bones more too. It’s not all rosy.
Yet some things don’t age.
Like sharing a laugh with good friends.
(And at some point you might realise that at times
You yourself make pretty good company).
There is always more music
You just have to open your mouth and sing.
