We grow in humanness as we age

We grow in humanness
as we age
and that only by way of
being softened
To become wise is to become vulnerable
the older we get the more drops away
life takes
this is the school of aging
and the work of each of us aging
the more we lose the more we grow
to accept vulnerability is the path
The living have work to do
right up to the very last breath

:- Doug.
