What Comes First Now
12 September, 2009
Author: Barbara Goodhew

When young, looks came First.
Comfort came second.

High heels, tight fitting clothes, makeup that took 30 min.
With age our looks still matter.
Only now comfort and safety comes First.

Sensible shoes, sensible clothes, no more stress of make-up.

So when we see an older person that isn't all made-up.
We see a stress-free, content person.
