Her old bones creaked
And her pace was slow,
But her smile was blindingly bright.
Her mind was sharp,
Her manners were a true delight.
The world had changed
In the winters see’s known,
But she bore their weight with pride.
She shared her wisdom
And passed it on,
Using her love of life as her guide.
She did not bow to time,
She sought each morning’s joy,
And she has never been defeated by age.
