TheOne

We Girls

Women of a certain age

Different stories same page

Well acquainted with each others flaws

Those don’t matter at all

We be rockin’ these rolls

And sportin’ some Spanx

We got extra cushion which increases our huggability

And provides a softer place to land

We have been endowed with enhanced insulation for warmth

For when the world throws cold blows

And winds rage icy and fierce

When we hug you to our bosom

You have been embraced

Hugged right Making whatever

All better

Well-earned scars show we have lived some life

Got plenty left to live

Pouring out love

Tons more to give

Dollar Tree glasses, a plethora of pairs

Visions numbers and styles galore

In the purse, on the nightstand, coffee table, desk, around our necks

And oh yeah, on top of our heads

Closets laced with animal prints for our bodies

Hanging from our shoulders, on our feet, part of our decor

THE pattern of choice for many accessories

Wrankles strategically place

Our hair, salt and pepper should we choose to let it be

The alternative is being stalked by Ms. Clairol

Our flavor is definitely Lawry’s

Perhaps Adobo

Wherever we go, we do spice up the joint

Laughing, giggling if you will

At and with one another, loud and long

Silly, unashamedly

Experiencing all of the seasons simultaneously

Paying no never mind to the calendar or the clock

Ignoring Mother Nature big time

No matter the date on our Driver’s License our outlook says

We girls
