Poem:
My Rebel Prayer

Think I’d rather risk a wrinkle
Than turn away from the sun

Indian, Thai and fajitas are why
Someone invented tums

I’ve yet to see a gal get a medal
For avoiding MAC and Revlon

Au naturel hair or organic
Doesn’t make you a better person

Just say “No” to crocs and ‘stocks
Why give up Converse and heels

And a minivan equals relaxed fit
Remember how a ’79 Berlinetta feels?

I adore you Mozart and Vivaldi
Right next to Triumph and Ramones

Taking ASA, my Gals and dancing
Is stil the best cure for the ache in my bones

May I never say no to another go
On the dizzy rollercoaster of love

Or be too frightened or jaded
To know it’s a gift from above

“What will you do when you’re MY age”?
May those words never pass my lips

Never let me look at someone else’s life
And utter a judgemental “Tsk tsk”

I’ve yet to see any rules or books
About how to grow up gracelfully

My only rule is for myself
And that’s: Never stop being “ME”!

This was really fun and a positive message. I was featured in a guest post at HastyWords blog on WordPress as part of her push to further the #BeReal campaign.
If you click through, you can read my off-the-cuff and of course, nose-thumbing poem about keeping it real, “My Rebel Prayer”.
