My First Grey Hair - by my niece

One of my Christmas presents today was this wonderful poem my my niece, Olivia:

My First Grey Hair
------------------

Today I found my first grey hair
At first it gave me quite a scare
What's it doing over there?
I poked and prodded as I stare

What does this say about me now?
I worry, cringe and raise my brow
This imperfection I avow
Makes me feel a little foul

But then I thought a little more
Of those who's hair turned grey before
All of whom I do adore
With hearts of gold and wits galore

So maybe this is not a shame
Perhaps it is my claim to fame
For life would be a little lame
If I just tried to stay the same

Now wisdom calls me to its lair
Challenges me to be aware
Beckoning myself to share
The story of my first grey hair

.......

Loved it!!
