She Was Young Once
She was once young
A photo on Facebook
Her eyes bright green
Her hair in curls flowing
Her skin glowing --
Smiling;
She was an athlete
dancing across the ice
She was tall and lean
Curves in the right place
Her beaded costumes enhanced her look
an air of grace surrounded her
Youthful face
Where is that young athlete
She's not in my mirror
time has passed
Skin has wrinkled and cracked
Eyes are dim with heavy lids
Deep inside
She is still here
Although her memories
Are not so clear
She counts her blessings
For her life she lived
In faith walking
To the end
Of this life's cycle
As it should be
