Aged Beauty

SO I am old, I've been told. I forget some things and what joy brings. I try to remember snow in December. The flowers in June or the full glowing moon. I remember the hurt, of remarks made in curt. About how slow I may be or that I really can't see. I can hear very clear when you criticize dear. But someday soon you'll be like me. And grow up to be and aged beauty.

Yes, Karen, one day we will be in the same boat. People in such a state of mind must be treated with love and respect. // paul

Beautiful write, Karen!! ..this is the best enlightening poem for everyone... that we must not focus ourselves too much working hard to maintain our beauty... cos this aint last. Instead, try to polish our heart and maintain it beautiful 'til the twilight came our time... :o0) Awesome beauty, awesome write!! ^__^

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. I WAS A CNA IN A BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT UNIT FOR DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMERS RESIDENTS FOR 32 YEARS. IT IS VERY SAD THE WAY THEY ARE TREATED BY STAFF AND FAMILY MEMBERS. I REMEMBER SOMEONE LITERALLY ADMITTING THEIR MOM WITH A BAG OF BROWNIES AND NEVER DID HE RETURN TO SEE HER EVER. I READ SOME OF YOUR POEMS AND WOW THEY ARE GOOD!! IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE IN THE POETRY SOUP FAMILY!! A GREAT DAY!!
