Age (for Maxine)
Yes sure
There are the times
of hot flashes
and wondering
where those wrinkles came from
overnight
But there is also
the firm footing
of knowing
who you are
where you have been
and where YOU
want to go
next
There is the strength
that comes from being
a mother
from being in touch
with your inner divinity
(Oh, how you THOUGHT you knew so much
in youth)
And those lines?
They are not wrinkles —
They are verses
in a poem
They are pages
in a story
That is just getting
to the very best
part.
