  I am a senior, aged with grace, The lines you see upon my face Are not just wrinkles—they are maps, Of love and loss, of gentle naps. I sit in the sunlight, my heart full of grace, With memories dancing, time's gentle embrace. Each line on my face tells a story, a tale, Of laughter, of heartache, of dreams that prevail. I’ve seen the world change, like leaves in the breeze, Yet the warmth of connection puts my heart at ease. I’ve danced in rain, and wept at night, But always walked toward the light. I’ve wandered through seasons, both stormy and clear, Gathering moments, each precious and dear. In the quiet of twilight, I cherish the view, For the beauty of living shines brightly and true. I may walk slow, but I still see The beauty in a blooming tree. My hands are worn, but still they hold The warmth of memories, young and old. Each scar I bear, each silver strand, Was earned with time and made me stand. I don't seek pity, don’t feel small— I’ve lived a life, and I recall Th...

I never imagined I’d find peace sitting on a bench under a banyan tree. But life has its way of surprising you when you stop seeking surprises. Last Sunday, I unintentionally left my phone at home. I t was dead, and I was too lazy to charge it. Nevertheless, I chose to go for a walk — something I hadn’t done in months. I typically have excuses: too hot, too tired, too absorbed in scrolling. But that day, I simply walked. There’s a small park just five minutes from my apartment. I had passed it several times but had never actually entered. The rusted green gate creaked open as if it hadn’t welcomed visitors in years. Inside, I found overgrown bushes, a few wildflowers, and one magnificent banyan tree, standing tall as if it had witnessed the world change for decades. I sat on the bench beneath it, half-expecting someone to shoo me away. But no one came. Initially, my mind was restless. I kept reaching for my pocket, forgetting there was no phone to check. Thoughts of deadlines, dishes i...
