Always A Lady




Sometimes my hair is pulled up
in prim and proper,
my business suit look
hanging around my neck.

At times I'm a lazy sweat suit
curled up in blankets of warmth
while emotions flow
through my pen.

Other times you can see
a country girl , denim and flannel
walking through fields of colors
painted against a skyline.

Adorned in timeless satin and lace
with hair softly curled
falling around the face of romance
is someone that you might just see.

Then...those special times
when the daring woman comes out
dressed in night life,
silk stockings and blouse cut
showing just a little more than
society might feel I should show.

In all of these times,
who ever it is
that I choose to be,
held within each one of these
beats the heart, always a lady.


Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

Absolutely...it's all in how you carry
yourself, and in your actions...
and especially, in your poetry...

I agree, you are a beautiful lady. I like the many sides, I feel that way too. It is funny how we can change so much from day to day, depending on the circumsace.

Yeppers, I don't think anyone in their right mind could debate that you truely are always a lady and very much respected for just that.  As for the poem ... I believe I told you that it was nice to see you growing in your poetry and I still stand by that.  This had a very soft read to it and the flow was smooth as silk.  Wonderful writing.

This is wonderful.  No matter how many appearances we happen to have within the core of us we are still ladies.  You've done us a great justice.
