Antique

She is rather
an Antique
Quality
superior
than
what others
are today

She was
formed
with
the best
materials
and
the integrity
of her 
foundation
cannot
be disputed

She does
not hear
as well
as she used 
to
and she
always
seems
to bump
into things
when she
puts her
car
in reverse

Yet at 82
she should
do what
she wants,
eat what
she wants,
for as
in her
words

At my age I don't 
buy
bananas that
aren't ripe
as I might not
be around long
enough to enjoy
them

However it is
my hope
though
she sticks
around
a little
bit longer
because
It is always
good
to talk
to the
sweet lady
I call 
mom..............................
