Eighty Eight Years Young

Rosy cheeks, keen mind was fairly dancing with terrific ideas and hope
I had a sense about her from the instant we met, a kindred soul.
Eighty-eight years young. She had a soulful and amazing ability to cope.
We were the best of friends, she made me feel encouraged and whole.

Such a nice sentiment. But personally, I'm old. Doctors keep reminding me!

I am getting older every second, and my bones and aches keep reminding me.

Some angels are just that, and give us gifts we receive again and again our whole lives, by their wonderful wisdom. Excellent write. Ann

Yes, as long as we are dreaming we stay young. Your inspiring poem of your wonderful young friend reminded me of my mother - in-law who at the age of 103 kept enjoying life and was aware till the last moment. She welcomed death with open arms and with a broad smile. Thank you for sharing dearest, Caren.

Sounds like a wonderful friend. Age is just a number placed on us. Sounds like her heart was still very young :)
