An 'Ode to The Older Woman'.

Ode to The Older Woman

A woman's lot can be hard to bare
There sometimes seems no one to care
As she searches at great length to find
Some fragments of her brilliant mind
Exposed and seemingly beaten by age
Her reactions often outrage
The very people she loves most
A sensible woman they used to boast
Domestic, complying, satisfying woman she,
Now mood swings, tension, irritable she be
However this period of upheaval does not last
It signals to woman " Let go of your past"
What was me once is no longer needed
But just want to tell you I am not superseded
For out of this period of loss will ensue
The time of your life when you can be you
Of new heights to reach and feelings to share
With those of us who undeniably care
So brighten your life in all ways that you wish
And recreate yourself into the most delectable dish
Of wit and compassion,and intelligent beauty
To love and restore this is your duty
Resume your life with ego intact
Because an older woman is beautiful
and this is a fact.
