Touch in the Slower Hours

Eightieth Spring



Old woman, be not ashamed,

We'll leave the lights down low,

For also am I old.


Yet, are our minds not beautiful,

As love can be,

In our closing seasons?


What years we spent

Discovering gratitude,

Kindness and grace,


Let them not be wasted.

See the child in me,

As I see the child in you.
