Steadily lady
Rouged cheeks, ironed dress, white gloves
A fifties woman
〰
Hopeful optimist
Highlights in her shortened locks
A sixties woman
〰
Child’s harried mother
Pale face, pale lips, long hair
Seventies woman
〰
Teenage example
Casual dress, song and dance
An eighties woman
〰
Settled in, relaxed
Child’s hope of future fulfilled
A nineties woman
〰
Rocking chair rider
Grey at the temples bunned hair
Milestones satisfied.

I like that story of an average woman’s life in poetry form, very true, I like the last line. Nicely done thanks, have a great day.
