INSIDE THIS BODY A YOUNG GIRL STILL DWELLS!
What do you see nurse, when you look at me?
A crabby old woman, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit with faraway eyes,
Who dribbles her food and makes no reply
When you say in a loud voice, "I do wish you'd try,"
Who seems to not notice the things that you do
And forever is losing a stocking or shoe,
Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill.
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse, you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I move at your bidding, eat at your will.
I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters who love one another;
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet
Dreaming that soon a lover she'll meet;
A bride soon at twenty - my heart gives a leap-
Remembering the vows that I promised tokeep.
At twenty-five now, I have young of my own
Who need me to build a secure happy home;
A woman now thirty, my young now grow fast
Bound together with ties that I know will last.
At forty, my young sons have grown up and gone;
But my man's beside me to see I don't mourn.
At fifty. once more, babies play on my knee.
Again we know children, my loved ones and me.
Dark days are upon me, my husband is dead.
I look at the future, I shudder with dread,
For my young are all rearing young ones of their own.
And I think of the years and the love that I've known.
I'm an old woman now and nature is cruel.
'Tis her jest to make old age look like a fool.
The body it crumbles, grace and vigor depart,
There is a stone where I once had a heart.
But inside this carcass a young girl still dwells
And now again my battered heart swells,
I remember the joys, I remember the pain;
And I'm loving and living all over again.
I think of the years, all to few, gone to fast
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, nurse, open and see,
Not a crabby old woman.
Look closer
SEE ME!
Thanks to Huggie for this inspiring and TRUE poem
