She's Just a Girl Full of Life and Adventure

She's a girl with fashion and passion 
Full of life and adventure
She loves her shoes and bags
She loves her custom jewelries 
She loves to accessorize her outfits 
She loves jumpsuits and long dresses, they shape her taller and flow nicely
She has a passion for nail arts
She loves to paint her own nails 
of course to rhyme whatever the season may be
One particular season is her best 
... Summer... because she has a passion for the out doors
She loves to fish and ride on her boat
She loves the beach and the ocean
She loves to run and take long walks
She loves to eat summery foods 
A chill white wine just tastes better in the summer after a nice long day
And while she's mesmerized with the transition of Fall
She loves to fall back and appreciate
the enchanting beauty Mother Nature display 
She loves to go apple picking 
She loves to cook and try new recipes daily 
Winter is the best for pot roasts and soups
But there's nothing more comforting than sipping on a hot cocoa watching the snow coming down beautifully 
Although she's afraid to drive in the snow
But she would love to learn how to ski 
She drinks red wine all winter thru spring 
It keeps her warm and relaxed
She loves cherries, they're her faves
And while she suffers the spring's allergy 
She just love the blooming of flowers, they're the most delicate beautiful things 
She's just a girl full of life and adventure 
She's all about living the moment 
For tomorrow has no promises... 

            Smile

What a wonderfully written personification. You painted some very lovely pictures and I must say if the rest of the world felt like she did what a fun and peaceful place it would be. Another great write kina.

You sound like a woman who cherishes and lives in the 'now', the 'Present' - which is the 'Gift', the past is 'History' while the future is a 'Mystery'. I love your description of the seasons -... Maria
