From entrance to end,
7 ages occur for women.
From good to bad,
and back again.
The first chapter of this book is when
the infant is brought into this world.
The love and care of all,
to help when she might fall.
Which is the next chapter,
toddler trying and looking like a drunken man
not wanting but needing a helping hand.
Then comes the girl, eager and willing,
trying to fill the shoes her mom is filling.
Next comes a young women,
celebrating the 16th,
growing in all, body and knowing.
Then comes the chapter about the leap of adulthood,
out on her own.
Free of life, body, and soul.
But she continues the studies,
for hope to become whatever she shall please.
Swimming in her future up to her knees.
Next comes the chapter of the business woman, wife, and mother,
Now we are almost to the back cover.
Giving all of her love, like she had received.
Now up to her shoulders from her knees.
The next chapter of life is death.
Being treated like a child, but being taken care of.
Because of all the love she gave,
in turn she receives.
Now from her shoulders to her head.
The last page of the book reads,
"Now she is dead."
