Keep Your Swagger

i see you strutting
your long flowing hair
miniskirt and heels
swaying with swagger
content with your lot in life

i try to picture you
twenty or thirty years from now
and can’t help but hope
life never drags you down

Ah, I see these young optimistic women also and I send them the same prayer. Lovely Line.

Life is good to the person that stays in faith. I love this. I've always wondered about some of those that pretend to be a certain person, but were not what they've become now. Hugs Eve

Line, I like this poem. Life has been kind to some, less so for others. But can never take away that wonderful swagger of youth. -Richard
