What had become of the clever little girl?
Her mind was in a whirl
She used to live life with great abandon
Now, she felt abandoned
Life’s ups and downs
Could be seen on her face lined from frowns
The tears stained her face
Would she ever get to feeling safe?
She remembered how laughter once filled the air
Life just didn’t seem quite fair
This once confident young lady
Could scarcely remember her heyday
She was fraught with despair
Thinking she needed to get out of this lair
But, how? How?
She had to abandon this thinking, right now
She put on her favorite red dress
Lest she digress
Put on her matching shoes and hat
And added her lovely chinchilla wrap
Out the door she flew
Deciding to have a cocktail or two
She wasn’t going to sit around and wait
To see if she’d ever get a date
The night air was filled with excitement
She was going to have fun – on this she was bent
Her feet got to tapping
Realizing that she might have a fling
Her confidence back on track
She’d gotten despair off her back
And all it took
Was wearing "the look"
