Grateful to be able to thread through the ‘eye’…

Sewing

******* 

ever tried threading 

‘impossible’ tiny eye

of sewing needle?

*****

a test one can pass

presbyopia in old age?

or short- sightedness?

*****

each time thread went through

a smile, a grateful relief

tis good for my age!

********

wow, you can still type

on your mobile and read book

without your glasses?

****

so, I am grateful

to be able to still thread

that tiny lil’ eye.

    One test for aging is whether you can thread a needle.

        When you get older, it’s the simple things, like threading a needle and being able to read a menu in a dark restaurant!

      2. Why would a restaurant be dark?

        Some of the restaurants I’ve been to for dinner have dimmed lighting and candles on the tables. They like this type of atmosphere.
