Air and Gravity
SHE LOOKED IN THE MIRROW
SHE LOVES WHAT SHE SEE'S
A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,
THAT'S AGING GRACEFULLY,
SHE'S DOING HER THANG
ONE DAY AT A TIME WITH
GRAVITY AND AIR BY HER SIDE.
SLOWER, SELFISH, ON HER OWN TIME
GOES WHERE EVER SHE WANTS AT A
BLINK OF AN EYE.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE FEW AT THIS
TIME BUT,
GRAVITY AND AIR STAY CLOSE BY HER SIDE.
SHE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE HER SELF
PUT AWAY ON A SHELF.
WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO... ALL SHE CAN
TO MEET OLD MAN TIME AND SHOW HIM
THE THINGS SHE CAN DO.
SINCE SHE HAS REACHED THIS AGE
OF TIME SHE DOESN'T FEEL BAD AT ALL
SHE FEELS FINE.
I ASK HER, DIDN'T YOU ENJOY YOUR YOUTH
NOW, YOU CAN WATCH WHAT THEY WILL DO.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU ACTED AS IF....
YOU WERE THE ANSWER, GOD'S GIFT.
HOW YOU CHALLENGED EVERY THING
FROM A SHY SMILE TO A DAMAGED BOOK
WHO DONIT TO GETTING IT FIXED.
A SLOW WINK OF AN EYE
NOW TIME HAS BEEN WITH YOU AWHILE.
EACH LESSON, EACH MISTAKE HAS A PLACE
ON YOUR FACE.
YOU ARE AUNTIE, YOUR GRAY HAIR IS GOLD.
RICHNESS BEYOUND WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.
TIME HAS GRANTED YOU WISDOM AND TRUTH
AGE IS A WELL DEVELOPED PART OF YOU.
LOOK DEEPLY INTO THE MIRROWS IMAGE,
HERE IN YOU IS WHERE YOUR CONFORT RISES,
SEE A DIFFERENT GROWING OLDER INSIDE YOU.
LIFE'S YEARS HAS GIVEN YOU, GREAT KNOWLEDGE AND AGING BEAUTY.
TIME IS MY OLDEST AND DEAREST FRIEND
WE ARE TOGETHER UNTIL THE END.
SEWING UP THE ENDS WITH STRONGER NEW THREAD
UNDERSTANDING THE DIRECTIONS OF CHOICES MADE
THEN.
LIFES BEAUTY MARKS
A REMINDER OF TIME PAST
TAKE A DEEP BREATH, BREATH IN THE AIR,
AIR'S OLDER THAN YOU, NOW HOLD IT, LET IT OUT SLOW
AIR'S BEEN HOLDING YOU, YOU HOLD ON TOO.
YOUR SMILE FORMS THOSE GRACEFUL LINES
FROM YOUR WIDE BROAD MOUTH TO
YOUR WRINKLES, AGE SPOTS AND WIGGLY LINES.
