Eileen

In the town park she is one that i often does see
She always does smile and say good day to me
She does not look her age wonder how this can be
She looks fit and healthy and pretty for one of eighty three
She does not wear any makeup and her shoulder length hair silver gray
But she looks younger than her age by many a day
She looks fit and slim and lovely though her best days she has seen
The ten times a grandmother the widowed Eileen
She grieved at the loss of the love of her life her late husband Joe
He dies of  leukemia a decade ago
But time is the great healer as the wise one does say
And she is enjoying life and feeling happy today
Not surprising that her friends in numbers do grow
For Eileen is one who has the inner glow.
