Self Portrait at 52
And Strewn about your temples
like a salt and pepper crown,
Did Time's advancing armies
destroy all your dreams and plans?
Erase your trace upon Life's page,
like waves do on the sand?
Menopausal Momma, I say don't you worry none,
No matter what they do or say,
No matter what Life THROWS your way,
You'll stay forever young!
