Belligerent Poetry

best parts

best parts of growing older, one
appreciating giving gifts far more than getting
knowing grace is in the small things
realizing that you will have time to watch the sun rise
being stronger inside than out
knowing how to tell when something's been done well
standing watching one woman garden,
realizing she remembers what's important
standing up & realizing you can do it too
being able to be proud of others
knowing when & when not to...
looking in the mirror every day
and seing you in your eyes.
