My Purple Hat (Inspired by the original by Erma Bombeck)

Age three she looks in the mirror and sees a Disney Queen
Age eight she looks again and sees a young wannabe teen
Age fifteen she looks and sees an imperfect, impossible case
too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, braces and a spotty face
Age twenty she looks and hides behind her made up complexion
too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, she wears a mask of perfection
Age thirty she looks and sees her concerns but she does not dwell
too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, she gives thanks that all is well
Age forty she looks and sees a woman giving life her best shot
too fat, too thin too tall, too short, she is happier with her lot
Age fifty she looks and sees a woman seeking harmony not strife
searching for contentment, striving to find peace with her life
Age sixty she looks and sees a woman grateful for each new day
she revels in the challenges and adventures that come her way
Age seventy she looks and sees a wise woman reconciled at last
she lives for the moment and reflects on memories of her past
Age eighty she doesn't bother to look, no care what anyone may say
confident and care free, grabs her purple hat, ready to seize the day
