A Grandmother's Twilight Cadence

"Tread softly and slowly old woman", they say.
"Watch every step so you don't fall."
Eternity is creeping in without delay
Familiar words I seem to recall
Were uttered to me as a young lass of three
Oh, when my step was clumsy and carefree
Ironic how familiar the sounds and hence
I walk a grandmother's twilight cadence.
