2018
Finalist in the 'Write Along 2018' competition
I start at one age
But end in another
As I grow older
I become a grandmother
I see all my memories
Raining from the sky
I try to catch them
But instead I cry
I feel my youthfulness
Floating around
I hold onto it
And wear it like a crown
I turn my frown upside down
As I delicately whisper in my ear
My younger self reminding me
“My dear, there is just as much beauty in the day that is here.”
