Let It Be Known

Come silver sisters, let us age

with confidence, be unafraid.

Reflections in the looking glass

can not portray our qualities.

Can not reveal attributes earned,

what we have learned in traveled years.

Concealed within us, not on show,

but when ignited, how we glow,

and still we set the world alight.

The stars that sparkle in the dark

are not snuffed out, they are not dimmed.

Their beauty lingers, always will.

They do not fade and hide in fright,

they bring their glory out at night.

I like the cut of your shift mistress C .. a beautiful poem indeed & one that could only be crafted by one of the fairer sex :)

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Neville . Written on behalf of all the silver sisters out there. Thanks for airing this one.

That's really beautiful my friend, warming and give sweet comfort, I think of the stars now, aren't they glow more as they age? Thank You for penning and sharing this with all of us, women, and from woman to another, my true sincere "Thank You".

[Chris Shaw]

[Stella Armour]

oh yes, a certain kind of freedom comes with the silver threads; we can be more outrageous and not have a care about it lol :))

[Chris Shaw]

We can indeed Stella if we choose to be. Thank you and smiling with you ;))

Beautiful- and aging gracefully - beauty internally showing outward- shining bright even in the darkness of the night- women the shining leading stars showing the way for many- hearts of gold- when the world grows cold- wonderfully written- appreciation appreciated🌹

[Chris Shaw]

Strength and power in womanhood. I love how you wear the shield and challenge the years with confidence and grace. So much to learn from your beautiful soul, you're a fountain of knowledge and an aspect of admiration. Preach Christine, let it be known to the world how amazing a woman truly is!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you again Keegan. Yes we need to ensure that women are truly appreciated and valued throughout this world. I have nothing to complain about, but many women, old and young alike do.

Well said that lady. There is a beauty in the " more mature woman"
that the younger, more vain, still self searching for themselves, younger women do not possess. A woman happy in her skin, content, knowing, is extremely attractive.
Hope you are well Christine, have a good day.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Gee. On holiday in Brixham at the moment enjoying the sunshine. Hope the sun is shining on you too.

A lovely tribute to women--especially those who are no longer considered youthful.
As for me, the riper fruit always tastes even sweeter.

[Chris Shaw]

What a wonderful thing to say Jimmy. What a sweetheart. Silver sisters wherever they are will be greatly encouraged by comments such as yours.

I look in the mirror and do not see myself, only a reflection of myself. The story of our lives can not be told in a mirror. Inside each of us are a million stories to be told that only we know.
Silver sisters be not afraid for attributes earned set worlds ablaze.
I loved this poem.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your valued words.

At any age we women need unity to stand together and support and celebrate women in general. Angela Merkel, Teresa May, Christine Lagarde , Hillary Clinton, Helen Mirren look at these bold and brilliant women! They can teach some world leaders dignity and tact, with age comes wisdom and serenity and courage as well. The message in your poem is empowering, we should appreciate mature women for their wisdom and beauty that comes with age. Wonderful writing.

[Chris Shaw]

All women do indeed need to stand united. Just look at those names you have added that are on the world stage. Thank you so much for your response Mrudula Rani. Your reviews are very much valued on my page.

[Mrudula Rani]

Chris, I appreciate your response. I am glad you are making us all take notice, respect and love the silver sisters.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Love this. If I must grow old and wither I prefer to burn like a maple leaf in a burst of color and glory such that it puts the flowers of spring to shame.

[Chris Shaw]

You have just created a poem there in your response, and a very good one Fabian. Thank you
