Timeworn

Timeworn

I am an old gray woman,

Sit a moment and let me talk.

Let me wander to other times...

To other seasons...

Or maybe it was only yesterday.

I need someone to listen,

Let me pretend that you care...

About what I say...

About who I was...

About who I am...

Now I am an old gray woman,

But once I was part of a rainbow.

    Doreen-
    From one no-longer-young person to another-
    Gray is an important part of the rainbow! Without it, the other colors would gleam less brilliantly.
    Without age, there can be no youth.
    N'est pas?
    Lovely poem.
    David
