The Enchanted Pond

The aged woman knew her time drew near
Reflecting on the past, invoking a tear
Ninety decades of life upon this earth
She had once created life by giving birth

She had seen love come and love go
Like icebergs on a cold river flow
Seeing friends and family as well
Her memories are her stories to tell

Dwindling health for these past few days
A fever set in leaving her in a foggy daze
Wearing undergarments and moleskin on top
Laying on the bed using pillows as a prop

She lay there hands folded and fingers intertwined
Peace and salvation she was hoping to find
You could not have called her a fussbudget in life
She caused nobody harm and never caused strife

As she weakened and her death seemed so certain
She moved to the window and drew back the curtain
Amazed what she saw her wishes had come true
A new pond sat in the yard, its water so blue

Her intentions were clear and she knew her direction
Her children protested and voiced their rejection
Her superfluous intention just was not in the norm
She shuffled past her family and out in the storm

Something fierce drove her faster toward the water
One final shout and protest erupted from her daughter
She waded in, incorporating her body with the pool
Her family astounded and thinking her a fool

Magic then happened as her body filled with vitality
What could not be possible was indeed a reality
She started to rejuvenate in front of their eyes
The family stunned at this wonderful suprise

Her wrinkles had vanished, color returned to her face
Breathing so deeply she held her arms out to embrace
Her family rushed forward to her all getting wet
This miracle that occured no one would ever forget

The woman who was over ninety looked twenty again
Her illness and body healed, including her brain
It is as if a wizard had waved a magical wand
All of this from bathing in that enchanted pond
