Grandma Is Aging

In ultimate wisdom, she grows As her old age comes calling Happy to see her flesh wrinkles The eyes still hold their tender glows On a stroll each leg trickles. Mumbling words in silence Her senility replaced with wisdom In her eyes reveries of young She tells of tales of patience The crown that awaits her in God's kingdom Always the theme in her song. Grandma is aging Her hairs grey on every plus She's grown the wisdom tooth And sucks her cheeks caged-in Aging is to all of us To be old is the gospel truth.

Reading this reminded me of "Leader of the Band" by the late Dan Fogelberg. My grandmother passed away in 1979.
