The Hat I Wear
The hat I wear fits well
Even when I take it off
How long I’ve had it, it’s hard to tell
At it some may scoff
It’s not new, not old, not a knock-off
I do wear others
Without them, I couldn’t be
Like so many mothers
I have a hat for my family
And one when my time is just for me
With different styles and places to go
My hats go with me everywhere
Cooking, cleaning, dinner, or a show
You may care or stop and stare
At the hat I place upon my hair
My favorite hat is the one I choose
That keeps me true to myself
It’s the one I most fear to lose
More than my health or wealth
When not on my head, it’s safe on a shelf
