Sixty-six is happily retired,
Immersed in interests she has long enjoyed.
X-ray well her will and you will find
That none of its resolve has been destroyed.
Yet now a bit less shuffling is required.

So has her leisure left her spirit buoyed,
In labor lost, but of a different kind,
Xerophyte in bloom, by grace inspired.
