I love/loved Maya Angelou's poems in her beautifully written greeting cards!
a wonderfully observed poem about older people having the freedom to laugh when they want to?

Most sympathetic poem about old folks.Congratulations on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. How loveliest worded. My Congrats to the family of the late great poetess! 5 Stars!
