For my niece, just turned 50.


Welcome

Welcome

To the world of wise women
We have lived long, loved much.
We have plunged into dark seas
And come up triumphant,
Shaking silver drops.
Splashing then in glee,
Getting people wet,
We hug them fiercely,
Glad of living, loving touch.
Our bright eyes glow
In faces worn with care.
Welcome -
It's wonderful here.

Thats a lovely gift to give to your niece - there is such strength in a wealth of experience. Someone once said to me, that a beautiful woman is not really a beautiful woman until after the age of 40
