I Wear Elie Saab

Elie Saab creates haute couture
For women who are silm, demure

It’s not for rolly polly me
With little bulges you can see

Elie Saab is my hero bright
He lights up the red carpet night

He dresses are simply divine
But oh…not a one can be mine

I’ve got no cash for such finesse
Plus..I won’t fit the lovely dress

So here is how I live the dream
I spray his perfume in a stream

Once I tried his amazing scent
It clung to me where’re I went

Oh, but it carried a high price
To have it would be more than nice

Valentine’s Day… what did I see?
A present waiting there for me

Hubby and daughter shared a look
As I unwrapped, my fingers shook

“Oh, God please, help me not cry
If Elie Saab won’t meet my eye”

There it was in its glory fine
Elie Saab perfume, it was mine!

Now Elie Saab is what I wear
The scent makes me able to dare

For it makes me feel quiet sublime
So sexy in “couture” so fine!

Sweet Donna...Yes, having a daughter is a blessing. We tried for more...but...it was not to be! I know I am blessed. Sending you lots of hugs!
