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.
