No More Duck and Cover

No more duck and cover or hiding in plain sight. No more hiding your heart in a cave No more running from your Canadian goose self. It’s time to come out and face the dandelions The rest of us are showing our heart And gladly, especially me. Mine is out there for the world To pluck, to primp, to stomp, to slap and to pinch. Your feelings should be on the clothesline. Ready for anyone to see if they wander into the yard. Your heart should be sitting on top of the roof, smiling. No more duck and cover; no more running from your emotions. I will help you if you like.

I like this a lot, Caren. At my age, I'm no longer prone to duck and cover. I'm more prone to stand stall and speak out!
