This is so true, you definitely see more inner beauty as you get older. Beautifully written Khairul.
This poem comprises the inner beauty and the depth of wisdom that comes with growing old; indeed, in youth the beauty is exterior; in aging, the beauty is interior.
Cuz you are so right on target with this poem. As I age I do feel like an inner peace and I see people in a different way. I do look Beyond The Superficial. I think that your poem is very well written and it's felt universally.10 + + + + +

Delighted to have you comment on my poem, dear poet. Thanks for your appreciative words. @Savita Tyagi.
