SHE IS AWESOME

My ode echoes the thoughts of many a woman ,
past fifty who have rendered service yeoman.
Still in her prime ,she has now reached a stage
where , with love alone she tries to assuage
anxiety and ergo she is a picture of perfect calm ,
verily satisfied, guilt free , she plays the ville farm .
Give me kindness,give me more of it is all that she prays.
More charming than ever before ,she has blossomed with grace.
With childhood and youth left behind,
now a blend of elegance and experience combined
she introspects on middle age with pride ,
a mischievous glint in her eye,casting a glance aside,
recalls her rebellions and elders who supported her,
angels who bore the brunt ,her father and her mother.
Behind a milestone is a sweat and the wipe off the brow,
a tale of sacrifice and sheer pleasure in seeing somebody grow.
As she steps in and out of varied roles today
today's fifty plus woman is a blend of the old and the new,so to say
On behalf of a community ,I have to say this aloud,
to brag for the sake of my contemporaries,I may be allowed
as stories of sheer grit and determination do the rounds ,
I am simply amazed at the talent that abounds.
Hence my ode is a tribute to her,simply to substantiate
that she is a force to reckon with,and on her as I contemplate,
her life story only reinforces my belief that once past fifty,
she is bold ,beautiful and wise,quintessentially..........
