Amid the tapestry of fleeting days,
Each countenance tells of life’s sunlit phase,
Time weaves its tales upon each visage,
A canvas painted with the wisdom of each age.
Lines etched like stories on a weathered page,
Remind us of the chapters life does engage,
From innocence to laughter and to grace,
Faces bloom with the journey each embrace.
Through every crease and mark, time’s touch appears,
Reflecting all the joys, the trials, the tears,
Yet, in the evolving script of every glance,
A testament to resilience’s enduring dance.
In eyes that crinkle with laughter’s sweet embrace,
A universe of stories finds its rightful place,
A silent language bridges distance and divide,
Unveiling shared humanity worldwide.
As day turns to night, continents draw near,
In the gleam of understanding, we find our sphere,
For in the heartbeats that echo in each trace,
Lies unity that transcends time and space.
