RIP 1942 - 2020
DAY 25 - Trinity Form
break the shackles
break the rules
fight for freedom
we started it
you finish it
we are tired
we are old
you are young
you keep going
keep them onside
we are smarter
than they are
grandmas taught us
how to survive
their grandmas taught
them survival strategies
we are strong
we are champs
go for it
win win win
DAY 26
youths the season made for joy
my spring has long since past
can still jump up and down
a vacuum in hand
i'm
the wonder woman cleaning band
balancing pots and pans
a poem germinating
in my housekeeper ears
keeping warm
dancing
on a cold spring day
DAY 27 - shadorma
such kindness
so unusual
a stranger
shows concern
it has been a long time since
she touched someones heart
it feels bad
to know that no friends
are around
not great news
razor sharp reality
and not a surprise
well its true
so grandma was right
after all
so was mum
these french chicks dont mess about
call it like it is
DAY 28
1977
scenario
sandra throwing bernard's
designer clothes
into the street
from the top balcony of her terrace
just happened to call by
with the perfect sound track
playing on my car radio for this drama
43 years later
the real life movie
still etched in my memory
makes me grin
hilarious
wild times
bloody marvellous
good good good

All your poems speak to a woman's strength -- especially at different times of life. Some lines are poignant; others celebratory. All a pleasure to read. How did we not dive into hot water? And when we face challenges, unexpected and common to us all, how we do appreciate the kindness of strangers. Even when we're older!
