Old Age...

She lived
more than a century

Three generation and more
she got to see

Many would
just wonder
how that would be...

To her
it might have been
a lonely path

Friends her age
had long
made their exit
from life's stage

The body
began to wither
shrinking with time
it then became
a long struggle

The soul

not willing
to give its way
yet still

until one day
it tired...
and could
no longer hold
the string
it became
cold...

The last breath
went out
never to return

The struggle
having ended
the soul
now liberated
the body
rests in peace...
