As a child mother fed me what she thought was best for me,
I had no choice though I sometimes rebelled.
As a youth I tasted platefuls, with varieties ,
My food, my choice.
In middle age I was mostly on diet,
Nibbled my food and exercised,
After all I wanted to stay youthful.
Now in old age my dear daughter-in-law  is strict with my diet
I have no choice,
But if you see a light in our fridge it is me looking for that sweet something.
