I’ve held it all inward, God knows, I’ve tried,
But it’s an awful awakening in a country boy’s life,
To look in the mirror in total surprise.
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes.

I told a friend the worst thing about aging was the unintentional belly dance while running up the stairs........until you realize there's more hair on your upper lip than on your head.Then again your jaws melting down your neck ain't fun either.
You have found a much more elegant way to express age!
