Dr. Shruti Shankar Gaur

I am forty,

I look back to find,

I have covered a lot of ground.

I look forward,

I discover,

I am at the first step of where I have to be.

I look around,

And find,

Numerous relationships have dissolved.

I have few people in life today,

But more meaningful & deep,

They are the ones meant to be.

I look inside,

To uncover,

I am more at peace,

With who I have become.

I embrace my shabbiness,

And love my eccentricity.

I look at the mirror,

And love what I see.

Few grey strands,

A tint of happy wrinkles,

showing a life well lived.
