[Ramona]

She is
Sitting on a tricycle
Standing on the sidewalk
Blinking with eyes full of question and wonder
Curly locks of hair falling on
Her forehead
So young and bright

She is
Sitting on a bike
Standing in the street
Blinking with eyes full of happiness and joy
Bleached locks of hair falling on
Her forehead
So glad and free

She is
Sitting in a car
Standing in the deep
Blinking with eyes full of laughter and daring
And dyed locks of hair falling on
Her forehead
So adventuresome and prepared

She is
Sitting up in the bed
Standing with a walker
Blinking with eyes full of fatigue and knowledge
And white locks of hair falling on
Her forehead
Staring out the window
Seeing a long forgotten child
Sitting on a tricycle
The old woman stares
And…
Smiles

I like the end. Age is wonderful when the years preceeding it are filled with love and happy memories.

It is rather poignant. *thumbs up*

I admire this piece for a few reasons.
A. It's offbeat, and unclished. That's hard to come by now'a'days.
B. It's well written, and that always helps. ^_^
