Wisdom Etched

In the lines of his face, a story unfolds, A map of time, with wisdom as its gold. The eyes, a window to the soul's deep sea, Reflecting life's journey, with all its glee. The graying hair, a crown of aged pride, A testament to years of trials and stride. The sweater, a cloak of comfort and of rest, A symbol of the warmth that he has nest. The background, blurred, yet present still, A reminder of the world that stands and fulfills. His presence, a moment of serene grace, A pause in time, a quiet, inner space. The photograph, a capture of a fleeting glance, A glimpse into the depths of a life's dance. In this portrait, a tale of love and strife, A chronicle of life, with all its ebb and rife.
