I've heard the news that Shell-gal's getting old- 

er, by the day, but also by the year! 

And certainly she seems to be more bold- 

er - well, thats as to me it would appear. 

And yet she keeps on gently being kind. 

The kind of gal who speaks it as she sees; 

but makes herself to "see" what others find

incredible, for possibilities 

 

that were there all the time, she brings to light. 

She tries to see from others' points of view. 

The more that she does this, it just seems right. 

And she is helping others do that too. 

So now she's got a bit less than three score, 

in learning from who fathers ev'ry dad. 

I might just get the chance to know her more, 

than just as kids, or teenage lass and lad.
