A Beautiful Octogenarian

In her early eighties one who is carefree A beautiful person in her I do see I like her for the person she appears to be And I like her because she is so nice to me She is one I do always feel happy to meet So down to earth one who is free of conceit In anti ageing creams or hair dyes she does not hide her wrinkles and gray One who is happy to age in the natural way To her children a good mum and to her deceased husband she was a good wife She remains young at heart she is one who loves life To look at she does not seem her age eighty three And she is all indeed what she appears to be A happy woman free of conceit and guile And a beautiful person with warmth in her smile.
