Imagine if Amelia Earhart had survived her round-the-world flight
and lived well into her 90s
How much of that adventurous spirit would have survived
in the frail frame
with arms barely able to steady a control wheel?
Would there still be a glint in her eye
or a smile to betray the daredevil inside?
Your grandmother has still got it
she hasn't played basketball since 1948
but her hand-eye coordination is impressive
when it comes to tossing the remote
But her legs are weak
and her memory poor
and sometimes she even needs to be reminded of your name
Who will I be when my body is a withering casing of my former self?
