“You’ve got to have a purpose,” she said,

Quoting the Retirement Scripture.

Not the Gospel According to Match.com

A bucket list of destinations, entertainment,

Places to snuggle or stay warm.

Or the Five Commandments of single women:

Make me laugh, lead me to water,

Lose the baggage, hold the drama, be spiritual, not religious.

Or names like habitats: Sungirl, Golfgirl,

Naturegirl, Wentsailing, Lakesidegirl.

Rather, she invoked a dream:

“Let’s make the world a better place”

Postscript for justice

Peace, and . . . ok

Mild weather
