the old woman sits alone in her room
her husband is gone, the kids have moved out
she dreams of the day she first saw her groom
a bright young wife, she never had a doubt
she recalls the day she became a mom
twenty-three with a baby on her hip
her husband off fighting in Vietnam
struggling everyday to get a grip
but she wouldn’t trade it for anything
she loved him and the kids with all she had
but now on her vanity sits his ring
the pictures on the wall just make her sad
she looks in the mirror and can’t disguise
the pain that is sitting behind her eyes

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
