I am looking for a poem that begins "His old bones creaked..?

Question

and his pace was slow, but his smile was blindingly bright, mind sharp, voice kind and his manner a true delight. The world had changed in the winters he'd known..." I would really like to find the author and the entire poem. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Her old bones creaked and her pace was slow

But her smile was blindingly bright

Her mind was sharp, and her voice was kind

Her manner was a true delight

The world had changed

In the winters she'd known

But she bore their weight with pride

She shared her wisdom and passed the goodness on

Using her love of life as her guide

She did not bow to time

Using life as her stage

She sought each morning's joy

And she was never defeated by age
