  Abstract
This article suggests a unique way of viewing aging. Focusing on the process of aging, the author examines the manner in which we age and the meaning(s) we create while we go through the various stages of life. A literal and metaphorical analysis of aging is explored in great depth. Using poetry as a vehicle for meaning-making in aging, this article brings to light how we can apply ourselves creatively, and author our own life story as we age.
