Notes About The Poem

When I look at myself, I see TIME

Time Passing ME by. 

took new selfies a few Days ago

After adding a few pounds in all the right places 

In which reminds me. ENJOY IT 

Before I turn into an Grumpy Old Granny.  

(wait a minute, I am A GRANNY!) lol

Listen to poem:

Old Lady

"bag of bones"


I wonder if when you look at me
You can't bring yourself to like    the  vanity
Lost  somewhere  inside - 
I wonder if beauty lives..... in you???

Poor old lady; 
-perhaps you should not pass judgment 
For one day
I might be
Just 
Like 
You!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your wisdom through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Beauty is what it is: this to somebody, that to another. When we die, the songbird that escapes from our hearts is beauty. Bravo Poet!

The head and the heart can keep you young for ever.Forgive everything along the way and everyone with no exception and fill yourself with love.Without judgmental thoughts about others or yourself, you will become the fountain of youth.You will move through each stage of life with the the joy of a child.But then I never grew up and that's the way I like it.lol;Thalia(Michael no more)Anne Ainsley.

My son (who happens to be 40) calls me "Old Lady", (an inside joke) I tell him I am just well seasoned. I love, love, love this piece.
