Never Defeated By Age

Her old bones cracked and her pace slow
But her smile was blinding bright
Her mind was sharp, and her voice kind
Her manner a true delight

The world had changed
In the winters she's known
But she bore their weight with pride
She shared her wisdom and passed goodness on
Using her love of of life as her guide

She didn't bow to time
Using life as her stage
She sought each morning's joy
And she never defeated by age

Mary Ellen Douglas
She was a great woman
I miss and love her very much
