Her Time

HER TIME

ill- dated she thought
ill-humored her birth brought
ill-omened her race
ill-starred her pace.

Through thick hide
Though beffudled
Hard-boiled she remained
Her bright future is imminent.

Ineluctable is her fate
Bridled by unknown
Blithe she ever has been
Awaiting a pleasant futurity.
