Adding branches as we grow
Renewing again

Sitting under that big old tree
Reminiscing about younger days
Thinking back on how we were
How the time has slipped away
Remembering the past
How we held it oh so close
Laughter, love and memories
Was what we cherished most
Sunlight shines upon us now
With a warm and tender glow
Calling us to journey forth
We have so far to go
Yes! Change of plan, change of pace
We’ll relish the time ahead
We shall never forget who we were
But remember who we are, instead

Saving Face

The mirror lies
Reflections tell tales
Truth
But she won’t accept
The lines of her life
The cosmetic cover up
Hiding the scars
Of years gone by
Brushed on perfection
Cut with a knife
Lines and imperfections
Smoothed over
Chemical peels
Strip her past
Beauty is only skin deep
Adorning the colors
Made up for the day
Ready to take on the world
Wrinkled
The lines are too steep
Hands grip the mirrored frame
She’s afraid to break the hold
Worry and fret
Become her regret
Alas, she is just growing old
