The Party<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s a party<\/p>\n
In her heart<\/p>\n
Can you hear it?<\/p>\n
Did it start?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mother told her<\/p>\n
Wear your best<\/p>\n
Men will notice<\/p>\n
Pass the test<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Catch a good one<\/p>\n
Hold him fast<\/p>\n
He’ll keep you safe<\/p>\n
And make you last<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She has no children<\/p>\n
There are no pets<\/p>\n
She smiles slyly<\/p>\n
With few regrets<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She never married<\/p>\n
She found no one<\/p>\n
It is her life<\/p>\n
There is some fun<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She has good work<\/p>\n
Her days and nights<\/p>\n
The party lasted<\/p>\n
Just out of sight<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No one gets it<\/p>\n
She must drink<\/p>\n
She can’t be happy<\/p>\n
Is what they think<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To win in life<\/p>\n
You must be two<\/p>\n
To prove you’re worthy<\/p>\n
That love is due<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She hears the chatter<\/p>\n
Without a tear<\/p>\n
Her heart is full<\/p>\n
And love is<\/em> near<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s not a secret<\/p>\n Not in a book<\/p>\n But for the taking<\/p>\n Though you must look<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Love’s not a payment<\/p>\n There is no price<\/p>\n You always have it<\/p>\n Good, bad or nice<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your brought the love<\/p>\n When you got here<\/p>\n There’s plenty of it<\/p>\n To share with cheer<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s all inside<\/p>\n Not out in space<\/p>\n Not with some man<\/p>\n Who likes your face<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This life will dim<\/p>\n You cannot stay<\/p>\n Toss off the fear<\/p>\n Seek joy each day<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s a party<\/p>\n In your heart<\/p>\n Can you hear it?<\/p>\n Did it start?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Party There’s a party In her heart Can you hear it?
