96

"Don't ever get old"
she told me with a smile

remembers when
she was young

Running
Climbing
Swimming

All gone now

Sloped over
Shuffle

Effort to move
another to help her up

Still dressed in her Sunday best
Handkerchief tucked in her sleeve
Halls cough drops
covering the "halitosis"

Don't take it for granted
she was trying to tell me
