I didn't realize people change so much in a lifetime. Is that what keeps people from becoming bored looking at the same person in the mirror for 90 years?
Well, twenty years have passed since then: My sister now, a stately wife Still fair, looks back in peace and sees The longer half of life--
The longer half of prosperous life, With little grief, or fear, or fret: She, loved and loving long ago, Is loved and loving yet. -Christina Rossetti, 1856
Hope
is the thing with feathers that perches on the soul and sings a tune without the words and never stops at all E. Dickenson
That's what makes Life so beautiful.
