Beautiful Distraction

She calls you up and speaks your name you change your plans like that Now you'll never get through what you started to do Intentions all squashed flat She walks in from the bus stop her feet are soaking wet In fuzzy slippers, flowered shawl and burgundy fish nets Her braided hair is frizzy now done up black and red She takes your hand and kisses you as she pulls you towards the bed She spills her chocolate milkshake with a fling of her free arm Her clumsiness just makes her mad but it’s all part of her charm She flits happily about you like a dainty butterfly And views the world in wonderment forever asking why There’s a playful charm about her that helps set her apart She's a beautiful distraction who's out to win your heart FOR NATALIE written about my youngest son's girlfriend
