She’s gone to ground
without a sound.
It’s still Christmas
in her head.
She’s way behind.
She cannot find
the time
to get ahead.
She’s off on one.
Where has time gone?
With age comes
slowing down.
She’s not in touch.
She loves you much.
In her mind
your friendship’s sound.
She’s been ill with Flu.
Presents went askew.
Staying alive
her only aim.
She’s been carer too
with far too much to do.
as her man
also feels the same.
She’s been off her head.
She’s taken to her bed
after falling over
uneven flags.
She’s behind with jobs.
She’s not one for sobs
or lying there
flicking through mags.
She’s back up and about
at a slower pace without doubt.
Wiser now
just like an old owl.
She’s raring to go
before the February snow
sends her skating
like wild life fowl.
She’s looking forward to Spring.
It makes her heart zing.
Seeing nature
come back into seed.
She’s up with the lark.
She hears the dog bark
and the cat meowing
for her feed.
She’s invigorated.
She’s feeling elated
‘One day at a time’
her mother once said.
She’s out and on form.
She’s weathered the storm.
Thank goodness
for gluten free bread.
