We plenty happy now!


LIFE HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN

A good girl
Finished school
Completed college

No sex, no drugs or alcohol, plenty church
Bookworm, movie buff, won spelling bees, always first

Tripped in love
Married not too young
Got pregnant, twice

Nice guy husband
Real heavy-handed
My mascara black and blue

No sex, no drugs or alcohol, plenty church
Bookworm, movie buff, won spelling bees, always last

Filed to divorce
I followed through
Took time for me

New love found
A true heart novelette
Met over coffee

Plenty sex, no drugs, a bit of wine, plenty church
Bookworm, movie buff, won spelling bees, first again

Life has a life of its own
Time, seasons, living then die
Life has a life of its own

Honor, devotion, trusting love
In it for the seen and unknown
Life has a life of its own

Of its own
Of its own
Of its own

Morning Star
Great poem, very cleverly written.
A wonderful read, as I followed the tapestry of the life your poem depicts.

Thanks for sharing
