THE THINGS WHICH WILL ONLY GET BETTER

ELIZABETH TOTH

  Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, 
they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humour though, will only get better.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
And your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall. 
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, 
they will change forevermore, 
that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment. 
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better.

THIS REALLY SPOKE TO ME TODAY.

IF I’M EVER FEELING DOWN ABOUT THE AGING PROCESS I WILL TRY AND REMEMBER THIS POEM. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WILL ONLY GET BETTER. ‘LOOKS’ ARE FLEETING BUT UNIQUENESS OF CHARACTER WITH A DASH OF ALL THE ‘FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT’ : LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL WILL DRAW OTHERS TO US AND DRAW US CLOSER TO GOD!
