PAINT AWAY

by Shirley Munafo
(Cincinnati, Ohio)

Can't continue on..
Nor would I want to..
If I don't, I'll surely miss..

The good times I waited for..
Which took eighty years to arrive..
Gotta get a grip if I want to survive.

Keep busy, don't look back now..
That's it! that's what I'll do.
Paint away till all looks new.
