Grow old along with me

Rabbi ben Ezra
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith “A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!”

From Rabbi ben Ezra by Robert Browning

Taken from my grandfather’s poetry book. I like the sentiment of this first stanza.
