Ellie Zwanepoel Poet Sonnet

Growing Old

One day I hope to grow old and wise, 
Spend all day just eating pies. 
I’d love to hold my grandchildren tight 
Read them bedtime stories at night.

The tables will turn as I age each day, 
Maybe again I’ll be able to just chill and play. 
My kids can get their wish from me 
They’ll make the rules in their homes, you see.

I can take long naps throughout each day, 
Or take a cruise to the U.S.A. 
I’d love to travel as much as I can 
Be a really cool travelling Gran.

I’m really looking forward to growing old and seeing what the future will hold.
