What do you see?
Am I loud?
Am I quiet,
Do I seem proud?
What do you think,
When you look at me.
That I look old?
Is it just my age that you see?
Am I clever?
Do I have a good brain?
Or am I invisible,
Walking home in the rain.
Is my life very blessed?
No worries or care.
Have I lots of money?
Or a house that is bare?
What you see here,
Is the outer shell of me,
Not what's hidden within,
That's what is key!
I am clever,
I am bold,
But what you see.......
Is just old!
Please give a care,
To the person within,
I am special, clever,
Sharp as a pin!
I may be an old lady,
But I've lived a good life,
Raised a family,
Been a good wife!
I've given and helped,
Those worse off than me,
I've learnt and I've given,
Please hear my plea.
When you see me about,
Don't ignore and not see.
I'm not a poor old lady,
I'm special, I'm ME!
