To a sister - in the Messiah

How does it feel Shell-
to be fifty one?
Feel like an old gell?
Or still too much fun?

Truth 'bout "Feelings" said:
"They ain't the whole deal";
but truly they've led
folk,  to   see more real:

We're over the hill,
and now running down.
Let's enjoy our fill,
not pout, cry, or frown..

'bout what we CAN'T do -
when there's stuff we can.
I'd like to thank you,
your kids, & your man...

..for choosing to live
(with me) in God's rooms,
& helping my "sieve" *
remember the blooms..

The bloomin' flowers,
with stories & pic's.
Bodies lose powers,
but new ones are fixed!

And thanx Creator!
-of this here old earth!
- for all that's greater
since Yeshua's birth.
XXOO Paul.
* I've got a memory like a ..., like a ... (what is that thing, like a collander ?)
