I perhaps grow soft
In my old age
As my eyebrows begin to bush and
Grow pale above my face as it falls
Into wrinkles
Rising from a snow-stained beard
But if I do
I find I am happier for the cushion
The padding easing the shocks of life
That rattled me when I thought myself
A harder man
What I have not yet broken inside
Might still survive
