Courage

She sat in front of her mirror
Her hands shaking slightly
She took a deep breath and sat for a moment
closing her eyes trying to still her racing heart
trying to still her shaking hands
She opened her eyes took a steadying breath
Once more she started to make up her eyes
She extended the line around her right eye
trying to make it look the same size as her left

Lordy she had to be a masochist, here she was
well into her 50's, in a wheel chair, one eyed,
so wrinkled sun spots galore, thinning hair

What was she thinking going out with a man
she had been talking to on the internet,
she had met him on-line in a dating room for over 50's
She had refrained from giving him a picture,
until after a month and then it was one taken
before the accident that had so changed her life...

She had tried to be honest with him
as to her looks her eccentric nature, her ability
to get on her soap box and give her views on anything
and everything, and her inability to suffer fools

She looked at her wrist watch, oh God,
he was due in 5 minutes to take her out to lunch,
he had chosen the restaurant, she was delighted
it was her favourite Vietnamese restaurant.

She finished putting he lipstick on, sprayed
her favourite perfume Looked into the mirror and
with a twinkle in her eye speaking to herself Well not bad
for a broken down old bird even if I do say so myself.
The doorbell went, she swallowed and made her way to the door
There he stood not a handsome face, but a kind one, strong
she smiled, He bent down and kissed her and handed
her a teddy bear... her heart melted.

They both started talking and smiled, he held the door
open for her, She did not see his missing leg
he did not see she used a wheelie to help her walk
nor did he see the blind discoloured eye.

What they sore was two courageous people taking a chance
reaching out, reaching out to life..
