Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required *** How Lady Learned at Last *** For decades, Lady daydreamed, wanting a full closet, A packed, complete fashionable style: Shoes to hats, to crown the French Bob Of shinny, brunnette tresses above her hazel eyes. There’d be gauzy blouses and Merino, Polo Sweaters in a dozen colors altogether. All the details took hours upon hours of thought, such as The mixing and matching of those tops with All the any of six Skater Skirts, (once she might have them all) Designed with a bit of a swing; or to wear with The any of seven medium-weight and permanently- Pleated pants in solid colors or faint Scottish plaids.

In a prayerful testimo to God many years after high school, Lady faced her own being…and Opened the gate to let the calves — the many she’d come to own — Out to go off down the stony road to other pastures; And then she dropped to her knees… ———————————————————————————————— (c) sally young eslinger 2/2023 Thanks be to God…
