:) its for our Summer book club meeting, we have a mini break in the summer but meet (weather permitting on the beach in the evening and each read poetry) this years theme being AGE!

Youth And Age On Beaulieu River (by Betjeman) is lovely and poignant reflecting lost youth.

When I am an old woman - Jenny Joseph (am already saving up for my red hat)

When you are old - Yeats (love the idea of being loved for a pilgrim soul)

Do not go gentle into that good night - Dylan Thomas (just beuatifully lyrical)

Sonnet LXX111 - Shakespeare (lovely)

Thank you all for your suggestions. In the end I read my late sons poem, it was called The Stages of Man.........from birth until death, it made me very emotional. It was a lovely evening, eight ladies sat on the beach all brought lovely food/wine..........sat watching the twinkling lights of Calais across the channel.............lovely :)
