AGEING
Her crumpled lips
Crinkled as she sips
Visions becoming hazy
Active body turning lazy
Her nose line droops
Once sturdy backbone stoops
Facial lines becoming many
Quite a few for you to tally
Her once shiny demeanor is fading
The one in a million beauty is now ageing
As her days turn into weeks and into years
She may discover many regrets and fears
Her family whom she treasured may leave
To their own families they may cleave
Her body as what described is now failing
Her friends may all be simultaneously dying
Her life if not anchored with the Almighty
She will be discontent and utterly unhappy
Losing passion in whatever she does
Making her into a grayer lass
Her existence will soon be dull and lonely
Turned into days unfulfilled and gloomy
But if she finds comfort with the Lord and His word
Her eternal youth and life will be secured
Her purpose will then be redefined
Choosing her time wisely as she signed
In every chapter of the book she calls her life
To every adventure as a single mother and wife
