She sits across the table,
Hands dancing, as she expostulates.
Her eyes move from one listener to another
Ensuring her audience’s attention.
Carol’s days as a dancer are long over,
But she has lost little of the intellectual energy
That demands to be heard,
(Sometimes at the risk of a silenced response).
She has seen much, is often insightful,
And views a day poorly spent
That has not added to her inventory
Of worries.
Dick and Carol still hold hands,
Offer endearments to one another.
He is an outstanding viola
To her violin.
Generous in handshake and manner,
Fortunate in her marriage.
Her earthy wit, charm and concern for others is palpable.
She cherishes friendships.
A repentant enabler, Carol will share her motherly pride
While remaining critical of her children’s choices.
She is capable of incredibly bad decisions,
Founded on love.
