Modern Queen

She sat by the window with her silver crown And gazed outside at what was around A bird at the feeder, a squirrel in a tree A car driving by, another, now three She sat and gazed as the hours passed by For this queen didn't worry about time In life's simple pleasures, she now partakes From watching the birds, to eating some cake The minutes pass by, she cherishes each As ninety-five years is no simple feat Her days are now filled enjoying the sun Broken only by the nurses med runs

I work at an assisted living facility for seniors with dementia, and that's where I got the idea for this poem. That's awesome! Sorry to hear she passed though =(
