A woman in a town nearby
Celebrated her 107th birthday
Yesterday. Can you imagine all she's
Seen--the changes the world has made?
Seeing our roads and bridges
Built, the progression of cars
That take you where you want to go--
Satellites showing pictures of Mars.
Women working outside the home.
Living through two World Wars--
Automation of machines to help
People do their chores.
Planes that take people
Around the world. Nations
Changing their names, the history
She's learned and what she's done.
And to have her faculties
Still intact, her mind is
Clear, and generations of
Family to celebrate with.
Some may think it boring--
But with everything she's done
And seen, a book about her life and
All the changes, might just make #1.
