Benefits Come With Age

Thanks to ckahn for the inspiring title I borrowed from you! Enjoy!

What is age?
Numbers, time, years constant?
Dreams, we dreamed in stages?
Memories new and old, forgotten?
Lessons learned and resting concerns.
Wisdom, words or freedom?
Age matters not, when in love
Age is the timeline our souls forgot.
So tell me what you say
Do benefits come with age?

Gaga, goo-goo smiling at you
Newborn babies, boys and girls
Hearts that melt and photos to tell
Spoken words, mum or dad.
Crawling, falling, nappies from hell
And late night mornings we've had.
So tell me what you say
Do benefits come with age?

Streetwise girl, flirts and twirls
Makes the boys stutter and curl.
Eyelids flutter and melt like butter
Eating from the palm of her hand.
Mini skirts, wonder bras, pride that hurts.
So tell me what you say
Do some benefits come with age?

Lord and lady on high, living in the ivory sky.
Diamonds, rubies and gold
Range Rovers, champagne on hold
Sugar daddies, feeling deprived.
She's waiting for the builder to arrive.
Build her a new dream and play her mean, trying to keep her keen.
Money is the root of all evil
It plagues us, it makes us, sometimes it saves us.
So tell me what you say
Do some benefits come with age?
