Eldering

Submitted by Bob Stilger on November 1, 2007 - 15:59.
A head of gray hairs
Doesn't mean one's an elder.
Advanced in years,
One's called an old fool.

But one in whom there is
Truth, restraint,
Rectitude, gentleness,
Self-control--
He's called an elder,
His impurities disgorged,
Enlightened.
