At Eighty-Six by Carol Culver Rzadkiewicz Sunday, December 09, 2007 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
At eighty-six She’s learned to be indulgent Of other people’s indulgence— The way the young smile when they think she’s not looking And the polite way they nod, while only half listening, To the stories she tells (her old woman’s fancies) Of how she too was young once, With skin soft and unwrinkled, Riding a paint horse, her dark hair in braids, And how she was a rebel (her father be damned) Who dared love a cowboy from Paradise, Texas.
