Mimi's Monday - Pretty Insightful!

Amplify’d from mimiwrites.blogspot.com
I am slightly north of fifty.
today I feel just like the Cherokee girl my grandmother was

One random streak of grey
And freckles
Not in the dew

And strength
in the middle of
imperfect things
that I no longer want to wash away
