Old Gal

A great old gal was she dancing all night with such glee traveling here and there by land and sea giving love to all she would see she would often say "the golden years aren't so golden" and then flee what could she mean-she has everything even boxes of tea taking a closer look you will see she had buried two loving husbands and had no kids from thee piles of money and things mean little when you get old she would plea when you get old you need friends and family she prayed on her knee.

Thanks for writing. Glad you enjoyed this "Old Gal" write. So many people do not have family and friends. It is so sad. Not many left here. The weekend was sad. I lost another friend. 2 in the past few weeks. Another one not doing too good. Old is not fun when you are sick. Heaven is getting closer. Glad you are doing better. Have a blessed day/week with hugs.............

This is a charming story, so well-written and so true, Paula. I wish I had met her, for she would have been a terrific traveling companion!

Thanks for your note. She was an amazing friend and like a second mother to me. I still miss her after all of these years. We had a ton of fun. Have a blessed day.............
