Poem Commentary

When the time came I wanted to embrace my age with class.
Keeping myself healthy spiritually, mentally and physically is a must.
I never wanted to be the one in orthopetic shoes and I am not going to be the old hoochie mama that thinks she is 22.
I like the fact that I am aging gracefully with class.

With Grace

Growing old with grace is what I'm bound to do with silver streaks and dimples too.

Ugly duckling one use to be too tall, too skinny and flat as a board.

Until one day I hit the runways pure modle marterial they all say.
Then he said quick change into me that's the way it has to be.

Standing 5'11 no longer a size five, Now I got the curves with the double digits, wife, mother and lover many still ask are you the mother!

Remaining humble is a must for I never forgot the pains of yesterday when I was too tall, too skinny, and flat as a board.

Never catching me in orthopetic shoes, Growing old with grace is what I'm bound to do with silver streaks and dimples too.

One must be graceful to age gracefully, you are doing just that from what I see. Good capture of the dreaded "Getting older."

You are a natural beauty inside and out. Those dimples are the perfect punctuation to your lovely face! More words of wisdom...from you.

I can absolutely realte! My friends don't understand that I have EARNED my gray hairs. Laugh lines can be badges of the life we've lived, if we only see it that way. Keep up the great work!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
