April 5 – A woman of 60

A woman of 60

gives up certain things,

like bikinis, short shorts

and tight-fitting jeans,

She gives up on other things too,

like caring a whole lot

about whether you approve.

She’s not in the mood

to smile or please,

she has no patience

for things like these,

Her arms are open to grandchildren

Her heart opens wide to let them in,

She has lived long enough

to take life in stride,

Go forward in faith

because somehow, you survive,

The fragrance of rose, or hyacynth

brings joy of the moment

and utter content,

Each day is a blessing,

and laughter is sweet,

Time spent with loved ones

is all you really need.
