As time passes on
I turn the next page
To discover a new me
while I continue to age.
I may no longer be
Who I was long ago
But I still can matter -
That much I know.
With a new set of tools
I have gathered from time -
I keep looking forward
To more mountains to climb.
My best is not over
As the skeptics might say -
I just learn how to conquer
In a much wiser way.
So don't sell me short -
I am not nearly done -
I CAN STILL MATTER -
I've only just begun.
