Old lady laugh

An old lady someday I'll be
with my hair all white, swirly, wispy, long
I'll take my hair twist it up
into a bun on top of my head.
I'll look like a soft serve
vanilla ice cream cone.
I'll wear a plaid long sleeve
flannel shirt tucked in
to my jeans, baggy, comfortable,
like me.
My jeans I will roll up into a cuff
because my stature has condensed,
on my feet a pair of white cotton anklet socks
and navy blue keds to walk around in.
I'll put my hands on my hips,
and when I think of something funny,
I will throw my head back
letting out a full belly laugh.

Too cute

The vanilla twist hair made me laugh, thanx.

I'm glad

I wrote it for fun and I do like soft serve ice cream especially the real stuff. raskin

Opposite reaction to this one. Growing old....frightens me, although i know its a sure thing. Grey whispy hair...baggy clothes...I'd rather not think about it! lol

To each his own. Growing old is better than the alternative for me. I see beauty in each age. raskin

People fear the unknown.

People fear the unknown. The way I see it you can fear it or embrace it. It is inevitable, regardless. I live in the retirment capitol of the world and I see healthy, active, and good looking aging adults every day. I also see the opposite. Preperation is the answer.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us. Steven Tyler

Kind of makes me think of "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple" It is nice to see someone who will embrace the freedom of getting older. There is nothing wrong with aging gracefully but there is something very sad about desperately grasping at what was and can never be again.
Nice job-I like this.
