Wisdom Jewel

By Gail DeBole Written on June 21, 2014 Updated on June 22, 2014 Hanging onto the chain of sunlight Streaming in her room She rocks back and forth In the antique rocking chair She will become tomorrow's antique Dangling with a wisdom That can no longer be shared.

Hi Daver - Thanks for stopping by! I am fighting the aging process the whole way. My goal (possible or not) is living to be 100 and having my mental and physical faculties (most of them anyway) in tact. Stay healthy and happy!

I get such comfort from writing since i joined in February this year - have written about her dementia on my own Jan Allison page. Keep your brain active with your poems and hopefully it will miss us too. hugs jan xxxx

Hello Jan - Thanks for stopping by. Sorry to hear about your mum. My grandmother lived until in her 90's, but had alzheimers so she didn't know anyone at the end. I'm hoping that it skips my generation. Maybe writing poetry will ward it off! - Gail
