As she lay back in the sand <br />Sun beating down on her glistening body <br />She reflected on how good life was <br />Over the years <br />She had gathered wealth <br />Here and there <br />A piece of gold, a bauble, a trinket <br />Pretty things...expensive things <br /> <br />The years had also been kind to her <br />She still had a body of a woman half her age <br />Toned and sleek from years of swimming <br />And a long golden mane <br />With highlights that sparkled <br />From years spent on the beach <br />Cobalt blue eyes, winning smile... <br />And not a wrinkle to be seen... <br />Of course she did have to watch <br />That she didn't get too much sun <br /> <br />Life was good indeed <br />She could probably still have <br />Any man she chose... <br /> <br />If only she didn't have a tail...<br /><br />Dee Daffodil<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-only-57/
