Steady Steward : Time

Charismatic Zoe consistently bears tendancy 
of softening strangers into friends
Perhaps resulting from her relocating frequency
Her familiarity with 'all sorts' hones empathy
Inspires trust, apprehension suspends

Fresh town primed to garner aquaintence
In the year charming Zoe turns thirty eight
Uninhibited, curious, built by self reliance
Folks cheerfully offer firm alliance 
Her attentiveness ensures it remains

Zoe values conversation vivid vivacious
Exuding nonchalance, ability to laugh at her folly
Fabulous new friendships steadily progress
Synchronisity cements compadre success
Several new girlfriends all in their forties! 

Shrinking space separates her from next decade 
Stubborn Zoe pictures dowdy entirely optional 
Zone of forty hopefully could be allayed 
Reality shattered, coming years delayed
Ignorance imagines aging not applicable 

She perceives it holds hands with abating energy
Admires dignity older friends can achieve 
Surely high spirits dissolve eventually? 
Settled staid of middle aged brings lethargy
Lustre of gusto a gown youth beseech

Witty Zoe's process barely outstanding
Timidly turning formidable forty - - - - 
Truth had evaded fathomed planning
Age expectations are pure semantics! 
Trajectory questions finally sorted

Embracing increasing, relaxed stance decided
Zoe dresses in fearless effervescent 
Category defiant, her latitude desirable 
Zeal's spirit reveals pleasant surprises 
Takes unashamedly from unfolding present
