Girded for Battle

Lorna



Every morning do I stare

Into the mirror where

I artfully arrange my presentation

 

A curl here a curl there

As I attitude my hair

And share with my reflection knowing laughter

 

Now I look like who I am

Oh thank goodness I still can

And with my armor on I'm steeled for battle

 

As the day wanders on

You will find me going strong

Deflecting all life's arrows of destruction

      Well done you for doing such good poetic battle with daily destructive arrows friend - - I love the example of both those videos.

      Lorna,

      Listening to Don Williams
      made me forget all about
      my bad hair day!

      Along with that adorable little GIF,
      I love these lines...

      “I artfully arrange my presentation...”
      “As I attitude my hair...”

      Awesome 👏🏻

        Don Williams seems to have sung a song for every occasion... I just love him... so sad he is dead! But isn't it great that singer songwriters can do both and stay immortal!

        Brill Lorna - was only listening to the great DW the other night - love the choice.

        • Lorna

          It's an "every morning" kind of song!

          Every day we put our armour on for the battle and I am sure you look wonderful in your armour.
