"All That"

I watched as she patterned herself
in the window, smoothing her lines,
comparing herself to the wigless mannequin,
wondering why even it
gets more attention than she.

Aging gracefully, I thought,
recalling the returning styles
and a time when life was simpler
brought the beginning of a tear ...
as she continued her slow paced walk
through the mall.

(Inside you never grow old.
Your hopes and dreams remain the same,
always wishing to find happiness
and to share it with another.)

I watched her stately figure,
trying to guess her age, but
as I grow older, age becomes less important
and it's the heart inside, that means more.

As she turned around to leave,
I caught her eyes with a smile and a wink,
just to let her know she is
"all that" and more.
