Gray hairs

The first time I looked
you weren't even there
Then a strand sprouted
and I didn't even care
out came another strand or two
and people began to noticed you
your numbers increased
and prominent you became
but just like before
I really didn't care
That's why when asked by a barber
if I wanted to dye
I looked at him and said
"Why should I?"
So you were left on your own
like you were really at home
Now, the last time I looked
you were everywhere!
but just like before
I really do not care.

One step closer

Taking one step closer
I am
One step closer
too big at that!
Trying to embrace
a wide-trunk tree
I may fail
I may fall
so be it
But it won't stop me
taking one step closer
One step closer
to my dreams
