My medals....

Looking at the mirror....
I saw some lines,
some strands of grey.....
At first I panicked
but when i looked
again keenly.......
My heart got
filled with warmth
I thought
These are the medals
bestowed on me
by my life........
They are the signs
that day by day
I am richer
with experiences,
with knowledge,
with love,
with friends and relatives.......
Thinking about this
I smiled at my reflection
fixed my attire
and walked off with confidence
I never had before........
