 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 for 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 for you see she carries on in light of hope for the breathe of you, and the light of 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, she came to realize what comprises all surprises age. She would not trade one younger day for it. She glows in billowing twilight more so than when she gave birth more now than when told she had worth even more, now, as she looks at her hands etched with time and looks forward to fall. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 25 November 2000 revised 11 July 2002 |

"She would not trade one younger day for it. She glows in billowing twilight"   (smiles) YAY!!! Oh Karilea, I too would never trade a day ahead, for I dream ever so much of what lies ahead for me and I want to just live each day to the fullest so then until the time comes where I can love and raise a family and all of that I can learn further to see the simple beauties of grace life bears! (sigh) This is a beautiful timeless and ageless poem, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much, this is a true gem!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Ageless wisdom. Useless to regret our pasts but priceless to share what we've gleaned from them. Enjoyed indeed. |

This is an absolutely awesome poem, Karilea. It portrays the maturity of women, so beautifully. Indeed, I would never want to be young again....even if it meant that my tummy would be perfectly flat. I posted a poem here which is of similar subject...probably a few months ago. I will re-post it for you tomorrow because I have already posted 3 poems today.  ~ womanly hugs for a job well doneLyra |

Exquisite covers it! However, this is not moi, ..."we are blooms waiting thankful to be a perennial..." I have a little bit of a hard time being thankful but I am trying  This was stunning, verse and of course the graphic enhanced it.
