Rejuvenate

When the fragile moment of youth has departed and age begins to cross my path, I didn't want to acknowledge it ! Suddenly I grew thicker in the middle, My eyes no longer focused. My brows began to droop and I had to pluck hair from new places. Then I discovered I had a turtle neck that I didn't have to buy. My shoulders pained as I combed my hair. My breasts found a new resting place. My hips started carrying extra luggage, and my legs dimpled as they led down to feet that hinged on weak ankles. My toes cramp and twist and swell as though they have had enough. When that fragile moment of youth departed the burden of existence finally became a reality. So... I've gone ahead and drawn on the best brows. I'm wearing the latest style glasses, going to the hair dresser and donning pretty scarfs. I've crossed my heart with Maiden Form and am wearing longer skirts. I now caress my legs with the finest silk and dress my feet in comfort. I've also placed a positive attitude within my brain so it cannot escape, because even within my thick skull my mind occasionally loses its ability to recall yesterday. And since life has more to offer I plan on taking it!
