I was 52 before
I found a gray hair
and thought I was special
I wasn't aging like my friends
Little did I know Mother Nature
plays no favorites
My time came
just as I began to change
my life
lost weight
cut my hair short
went blonde
Just as I pierced
my ears at 55
practiced Pilates
twice a week
Oh, yes, she waited
...a patient hag
While I was busy
saying Yes to life
she snuck by me
I was all tricked out
waiting for a party
but it never came
at least not how I wanted it
Instead, it was a quiet
tea,with soft music
and tasty little sandwiches
She walked in the door and poured me a cup
:)
I love your poem. Awesome.
