Nearing Prime Time certainly there comes a time, when age reaches, touches, and transforms what was vibrant ~ into beautiful with grace, age joins the heart, enlarges it so, taking in all smiles show ‘round her eyes graying hair tells of wisdom learned a softness comes to her arms, to her embrace, she has tenderly held babies, sisters, brothers friends, family and a lover but true age is seen in hands ~ strength comes to her fingertips when she looses her grip and lets goodness fly softly now, gently, just so she picks up a pen lets thought go black lines skim pages thoughts ramble reflection wages skirmishes of battles won who is here, after all, with the final laugh? by and through the grace of God the aging process will go on and with retention of memory she will carry on you see she shall carry on for you, and me she was beauty in your eyes; you saw into her soul; which carried through in voice that by which was her choice; and with time, came she to realize what comprises all surprises is age. She would not trade one younger day for it. She glows in the twilight more so than when she gave birth more now than when told she had worth more now as she looks at her hands etched with time and looks forward to fall she nears prime time and takes in... all |

From one that is not only prime time, but "etched", I have to tell you that you could not have said words more true, as I would not have youth again and loose all this! Great insight, and of course another wonderful offering. Tah!  ~*~ I write, therefore I am ~*~ |

Nicely written ... you know it seems that a woman's age has to catch up to her sensibility ... where as a man tends to just get stuck in first gear or so it ofttimes seems |

This is very well written. You have followed my progress. Just hope I can do it as gracefully as you write. |

JM, you young thing....come link arms with me...I'm not looking to get younger, I just want young people to know more sooner...no sense in letting others make mistakes, IF they don't want to.... |
