There's not a hat I haven't tried,
Everything seemed to be supplied.

Baby, toddler, child, teen,
Even had time to build self esteem.

Infantile woman, friend, lover,
Never a need to mimic others.

Singer, artist, poet, writer,
How could days be any brighter?

Student, teacher, retail owner,
Threw in the towel at business corner.

Mother, grandma, devoted wife,
Dare I ask more from this great life?

If I should find life slowing down,
Rests not with me, just this Old Town.
