The Party

 

There’s a party

In her heart

Can you hear it?

Did it start?

 

Mother told her

Wear your best

Men will notice

Pass the test

 

Catch a good one

Hold him fast

He’ll keep you safe

And make you last

 

She has no children

There are no pets

She smiles slyly

With few regrets

 

She never married

She found no one

It is her life

There is some fun

 

She has good work

Her days and nights

The party lasted

Just out of sight

 

No one gets it

She must drink

She can’t be happy

Is what they think

 

To win in life

You must be two

To prove you’re worthy

That love is due

 

She hears the chatter

Without a tear

Her heart is full

And love is near

 

It’s not a secret

Not in a book

But for the taking

Though you must look

 

Love’s not a payment

There is no price

You always have it

Good, bad or nice

 

Your brought the love

When you got here

There’s plenty of it

To share with cheer

 

It’s all inside

Not out in space

Not with some man

Who likes your face

 

This life will dim

You cannot stay

Toss off the fear

Seek joy each day

 

There’s a party

In your heart

Can you hear it?

Did it start?
