A beautiful poem about aging and embracing all that comes with it. Letting the world know there is no need for society to show sympathy to the elderly just because they have aged. It rather persuades to acknowledge how much a gift it is to be old and still breathing

Aging is an essential element of life but it does change the outlook of those around us. The poem reflects upon these behavioral changes- very humane and just. Thanks.

" Don't think that I am old and need your sympathy. Nay! I have lesser attraction than before, but I am the same me who has life still in me" . A soul that never gets old. Magnificent

I've always loved Maya Angelou's writing. When I taught at the community college, I'd present her stories and poems to my students, and they loved them too! I love this poem; it says it all, as only she can do.
