Magical Crone
The Be~coming of Wisdom
you may see wrinkles
and tired old eyes
but there’s still grace
within these bones
these silver strands
are moonlit kissed
and this bright smile
still enchants the gals
I may not out-dance you
or a fashion queen be
but my wit is sharp
and wisdom rings
much has been written
of the beautifully young
but nothing compares
to a magical crone
