Life-Force

She went shopping with me
Just to see people and things,
To escape the old and infirm
Who pushed their walkers
Around the halls and sitting room.
She went shopping with me
And negated her ninety-four years.
The life-force strong within,
She bought herself underwear
And mittens, and chocolate.
Flirted with the young cashier.
