It is my daughter's 30th birthday. She was born in Germany and has lived in many, many places since. She is finally getting back to Germany to live and is super excited. It's a new decade...
Old Lady, Old Lady
Calories cling, pounds creep
The age dial clockwise turns
Maintaining optimum weight
One of many concerns
Silky dark-chocolate locks
Take to wings in the breeze
One single strand of gray hair
Nightmare of mature ladies
Pearly whites begin to pale
Years of sweetened tea drinking
A whiteners-filled future
Chilled water glasses clinking
Wrinkled linen pajamas
A classic style and so chic
Wrinkles set in face forehead
The havoc that they will wreak
Injuries that once healed
Overnight on little sleep
Now linger on for days
Under bruises skin-deep
The bodies shifting landscape
In one direction slides
Accept yourself, change wardrobe
Cover where fresh bloat resides
