Wrinkles

That new face cream in the market
Which claims to keep age at Bay
To smoothen out the lines from my face
And to rub the wrinkles away,
Does it not know that I love these lines ?
These crinkles around my eyes.
The little sag of the cheek over my chin,
Are not the things I despise.
Each wrinkle is a age line for me.
Each one, has a story to share.
The laughter lines around my eyes
Shows my victory over despair.
Every bit of sagging skin and tissue
Is a life which happy moments lifted
Every scar and mark of mine
Is the love that life has gifted.
No cream no lotion can ever claim
To erase away any such happy line
I would like to drift away in life
With the sight of your wrinkled hands on mine.
