The faces of my elders mean so much to me
Because I see things you’re unable to see.

The state they live in is unlike the past
But the memories they hold will forever last.

I see passed the frailness, the pain, the fears
To times of successes over the years.

They each have a story they love to tell
Years of good health and living well.

And now their secrets I share with you
Please look beyond their faces, too.
