Old is gold

∞ ∞ ∞
So I've been told,
That was centuries ago,
In this present age and fold
No one ever wants to grow old.
Old is gold;
But many prefer to stay young,
Even the old in age
Deny themselves a strand of grey.
Old is gold;
That's true for material,
Try asking a celebrity of this age
Her fame, and the acceptance criteria.
Old is gold;
I know the greed will beg to differ,
They never want the young to hinder
All what they believe could be theirs.
Old is gold;
The young shall grow,
What happens when the old refuses to go?
Will the young ever grow?
Old is gold;
There's nothing you can do
Time will soon elude,
No matter how far you run.
Old is gold;
There's joy in greyness,
Wisdom from experience
That's what makes you a gold.
Old is gold;
Yes, through the years of growth,
Refined and refreshed by the flames of life,
That's what makes you a gold.
Old is gold;
Don't dare deny the change,
Young but experienced?
Trust me, it's only a shame.
Old is gold;
Enjoy the transit as you grow,
It's part of living, you'll come to know
When you're out, as you rest in peace
That old is gold
