To a Phenomenal Woman
When I was in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less, I needn’t hold my tummy in to wear a belted dress. Bu now that I am older, I’ve set my body free; There’s comfort of elastic where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes my feet have not forgiven; I have to wear a nine now, but used to wear a seven. And how about those pantyhose, they’re sized by weight, you see, So how come when I put them on the crotch is at my knee?
I need to wear these glasses as the print’s been getting smaller; And it wasn’t very long ago I know that I was taller. Though my hair has turned to gray and my skin no longer fits, On the inside, I’m the same old me, it’s the outside’s changed a bit.
But, on a positive note… I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.
