This is a test of my first diary at DocuDharma. It is also a bit of personal philosophy.
With reference to the phrase: start as you mean to go on, I give you this…..
GRACE
There is a fine line between
a wise woman and an old crank.
It is not physical
measured in wrinkles.
It is not spiritual
measured in piety.
It is not scholarly
measured in degrees.
It is not ego
measured in abilities.
It is knowing just how much to say
to pique someone’s curiosity.
It is knowing when to keep silent
but smile and nod.
It is knowing what is really
worth remembering.
It is knowing what is necessary
to forget.

…we have a problem already.
Should we tag them poem or poetry.
It is knowing what is really
worth remembering.
your poetry has grace, Cronesense, so you picked the perfect name…
you cant tell, but i’m smiling and nodding 😉
Great punchline!
