Sarah Magee

She had two loves one her husband who died quite tragically
And the other man her greatest love whom she no longer see
And now she lives with her pet dog in her house close to the sea
And life goes on as usual for brave Sarah Magee.

Many time a grandmother though her children don't live near
And the twilight years and getting old are things she does not fear
And for woman of three score and ten she has a youngish face
And little gray in her dark hair she's one who age with grace.

I like talking to Sarah for she has a humorous side
And she's loved and respected and she's known far and wide
She loves to go out dancing and waltz her cares away
She may be getting on in years but young at heart she stay.

She's had a hard life Sarah and in her story some tears
But she doesn't sit at home all night and mourn for her lost years
She merely gets on with living and in her nothing sad
And I have often heard her say that her worst days not all bad.

She's one who stands up for herself and not one to yield ground
And when she has something harsh to say she doesn't pussy foot around
And towards those who've wronged her in some way her feelings can be cold
But if Sarah likes you she's your friend and she has a 'heart of gold'.

Such an interesting human being of her one could not tire
And her humor is infectious she's a woman I admire
She does not dwell on her hard days and of sadness she is free
And I feel privileged for to know one like Sarah Magee.
