Fiona Poem by Francis Duggan

Fiona



I've heard she's sixty five years old her hair is silvery gray
And she doesn't wear any make up to hide wrinkles away
Yet she still looks quite pretty she doesn't seem worn by time
And she must have been a beauty when she was in her prime.

Standing around five foot eight of slender build and weighing nine stone little more
Around the same weight that she was when she was twenty four
Yet she's never been to weight watchers or has never been on a diet
She's your average healthy woman with a healthy appetite.

Fiona now a grandmother life's ups and downs has seen
She married the three years older Tony when she had turned nineteen
But with six year old twin daughters he left her to raise them on her own
Their flame of love had burnt out and apart they had grown

She'll live as a divorcee until the day she die
And she never will remarry once bitten for her twice shy
She received a marriage proposal about five years ago
But without hesitation her answer to him no.

She does not put on makeup to hide life's wear and tear
And she has known life's ups and downs Fiona with gray hair
But she must have been a magnet to men a beauty on her day
For she still looks attractive despite her tell tale gray
