Notes About The Poem

Dressed Up

Dressed UP

I got up early, 
before the dawn...
and dressed to impress. 
I had nowhere at all to go, 
or to be, 
I just wanted to remember, 
what it was like, 
to see the world, 
and ride my bike. 

I put on a fancy hat, 
and long leggings. 
I knew it would be cold, 
and I am old. 
My bones hurt, 
but I refuse
to let that stop me... 
from being who I am, 
and who I am... 
supposed to be. 

God made me, 
exactly as I am... 
on purpose.

Panagiota Romios Date: 5/8/2023 12:58:00 PM Joyful verses, Ann, I liked this so much. Love the fun image, I was able to keep going till I broke my leg two years-ago, I did a good one on myself, but one must go on. I used to be a runner, even in San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers.
