Jewels.

 Soft music plays.
 Her eyes crease in reminiscence.
 Tears settle in the corners
 of her memory.
 Each phase of her life is alive
 with sparkle and glimmer.
 Baby skin soft and silky
 mirrors pearl radiance.
 Diamond sparkled childhood
 races amid Easter dresses
 and merry-go-rounds.
 Soul mate and passion
 akin to ruby red vibrancy
 introduce adulthood.
 Accepting what has been
 and what will be
 reflects maturity with
 sapphire sturdiness.
 Regal emerald beauty facets
 the entirety of old age..
 Gems of life twinkle
 in her heart and soul.
