Fading Youth My warm washcloth hanging, ready to cleanse my frowning face. It removes my make-up, cleansing completely without a trace. Fine frown lines around my mouth, my life has picked up the pace. I remember yesterday’s youth, but it has escaped me as if we were in a race. I am not in the dawn of life nor the evening. I am in a dead end place. Where acceptance and agony wrestle this evening, these thoughts I must readily replace. Accepting my age is of the essence. Let the light beam into my bathroom space, and I will acknowledge and accept my age I will prevail as a person who I will embrace. by Christina Tyner
