An Old Woman

An old woman is living in my house today. I did everything to make her go away...I conjoled and begged but to my dismay, this old woman is still living in my house today. I colored her hair and painted her face, I gave her a girdle all covered with lace, I thought surely she would go away, but still the old woman is living in my house today. An Old Woman is living in my house today, her wrinkles still shows signs of glamour and grace but she looks battered, worn and tired in her face..this old woman who is living in my house today. An old woman is living in my house today, with only memories left of days gone by, and children voices that still sound real, she tucks them in her heart...while looking at pictures helping memories to start...An Old woman is living in my house today. An old woman is living in my house today. I am ready for her to go away, but she is just not ready to leave just yet. This old woman who is living in my house today.
