Nurses amazed
saying I look like 60
instead of 80
one said
no wrinkles
on my face
compliments always
welcome at an
age when fewer
compliments happen
like delicious
self-affirming morsels
got to meet
many caring
and inspiring
medical people
kidded around
with some
humor and fun
always good
beneficial to the mind
body and soul
what to you
would probably be
a dreadful experience
was for me socialization
and an enjoyable
learning experience.
