Mindy

Her shoulder length hair it is silver gray Mindy is aging in a graceful way Yet she retains much of her beauty though she is growing old For one in her mid seventies quite attractive to behold Last year her husband of fifty years Joe passed away Of cancer though sick for months he fought for life till his last day In the local cemetery his last remains lay She misses him far more than words could ever say Six times a great grandmother her physical best years long gone But the will it is in her to keep on keeping on Walking in the park her i often does see She always does smile and say good day to me Devoted to her family and to Joe she was a good wife Mindy does retain her great love of life Though Joe's illness and death on her a heavy cross She gets on with living life despite her loss People like Mindy are a pleasure to know One can say of her she has the inner glow Though life must be sad for her since the death of Joe When out walking to everyone she meets she smiles and says hello.
