He rolled over
and took all my cover
Not nice it took forever
lots of time to recover
~
Hiding behind you
was easy to do
until it wasn't
and it doesn't
make sense
and cost me no cents
~
Out on my own
and all alone
big bad scary
oftentimes hairy
~
I can do this now
years of time will show
me just how far I can go
and just who I can follow
~
I will do this on my own
Nothing too scary to overcome
I will get help, I am a grown
woman and I do come
from a strong people
~
No more seeing no evil
or hearing no evil
or speaking no evil
~
It is facing the world with eyes open
Listening to what is being said
and speaking up when I have
something to say
~
Don't worry, here I come world
It's been a great time. I've grown
to be okay, out on my own!
Authors Note: My current husband rolled over and took all my covers and I thought, I can write about this. Then I connected it with me back about 50 years ago😉🙂💕
