AGE WITH GRACE
Age with grace and dignity,
The years have served you well;
With years came strength and wisdom,
That youth could not foretell.
Seek what makes your heart sing,
Find what brings you peace;
Fill your life with joyful dreams,
And find there, sweet release.
Reach out for the brightest star,
To fill your life with light;
Hold it closely to your heart,
To light your darkest night.
Dance among the moonbeams,
Share secrets with the stars;
Sing upon the whispering wind,
A song of who you are.
Celebrate the years now past,
And the joy more years will bring;
Find what brings you peace in life,
Seek what makes your heart sing.

Hope is reaching out again,
To learn to trust once more;
It's picking up the shattered dreams,
That lay scattered on the floor.
Hope is learning how to smile,
When tears have lingered long;
In finding you are weak no more,
For life has made you strong.
Hope is learning every hand,
Is not one filled with pain;
For there are hands with gentle touch,
With that, your heart will change.
Hope is in the knowledge,
That you hold deep in your soul;
In learning to love and trust again,
Your heart will now be whole.

It is never too late to live with richness, purpose, joy and love. No matter how much time you feel you have wasted or lost, it is never too late to make the very most of the moment you're in. No matter how many mistakes you may think you have made, it is never too late to start moving in a positive direction. The instant you choose to fully live, the past no longer has the power to hold you back.
Where you are now is precisely where you need to be. With gratitude in your heart for the journey that has brought you here, choose now to make the most of where you are.
Starting from this place you can go in any direction. It is never too late to choose the very best direction you can imagine.
Dig down and get in touch with the real substance of your most treasured dreams. For what matters most is always within your reach.
Move right on past the disappointments, the frustrations, the regrets and the negative assumptions you have accumulated. It is never too late to fully become the real, authentic, unique and valuable person you are.
