An ugly old lady staring in the mirror
Despises wrinkles because smooth skin once meant purpose.

But that was a lie. Purpose is what we choose, not what is given as a choice.

There are always children to be loved, whether they are given, created, or found. To a child, wrinkles might be as wondrous as smooth. Our words are also children finding their way home.
