           "Getting old is not
             for pussies".
             Aunt Penny

(By: Karla Wagener)

What better award
In old age
Than to feel loved.

What better prize
As time passes by...

To harvest abundance
And hold close...

Fond memories,
Feeling it well deserved.

Coming to terms
With nature
And the whole universe.

The highest pinnacle...
The ubiquitous will.

Each day, each moment,
To be held gently
Like fragile chinaware.
