Letting loose with a little free verse...
Growing Old
A smile like daisies bursting out in May
your eyes lighting up the universe
with beams searching night skies for love
for a heart that's ever yearning.
Young girl, use your lonely heart
to hold your dreams close by.
Some day life will throw on gray clothes
shaded in somber ordinary.
And nothing will be new
with little to excite
while you dream of being young again
to feel youth's great exhilaration.
Until a loved one smiles
or petals unfold before your eyes
creating wondrous thunder.
Then you'll know growing old
wraps life's magic in silver paper to store
within your gracious soul.
