When I am Old.

So I'm young. Unfortunately this doesn't make me deserving of any awards, since merely being young is simple and takes no effort (it's living life, and not just being in a state of youth, that counts for something). But I wonder; why don't our good seniors get awarded? If I were one I'd appreciate some kind of certificate of accomplishment to put on my wall: "Well done, you made it," sort of thing. Perhaps the reason no one manufactures these encouraging certificates is that most folks over a certain age are too busy tring to conceal the fact that they are, in fact, not young. Personally, I'm going to enjoy my old age by drinking tea and writing all day; and I'd like to do it with the comfort of a certificate of accomplishment hanging near and cheering me on.
